Montessori versus Mainstream

Education is a work of self-organization by which man adapts himself to the conditions of life.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say, ’The children are now working as if I did not exist.’

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.

One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.

The child who concentrates is immensely happy.
