More From Maria Montessori
- "The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon."
- "We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being."
- "Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war."
