Drawn from my three-year immersion for the film Let the Child Be the Guide, my research, and my Montessori teacher training (AMI), this quote is an excerpt from a thematic selection I compiled to remove the primary obstacle to education: our adult prejudices. This post presents one of the themes from this collection, designed to transform, step by step, our gaze upon the child.
“These young people have spent years listening to the words of teachers, and listening does not form a man; only practical work and experience lead young people to maturity.” — Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind
