Maria Montessori
The work of education is divided between the teacher and the environment.
Maria Montessori
Do not tell them how to do it. Show them how to do it and do not say a word. If you tell them, they will watch your lips move. If you show them, they will want to do it themselves.
Maria Montessori
The human hand allows the mind to reveal itself.
Maria Montessori
