Montessori has a different perspective than the traditional school system because of its approach to treat each person as an individual. The Montessori "method" is actually a philosophy of education. This philosophy emphasizes the fact that education should go far beyond the acquisition of knowledge, and instead be a practical aid to life and help developing the whole of the human’s personality. In her book “The Four Planes of Education”, Maria Montessori often refers about the unknown potential…

There are many arguments as to why children should stay in school. I think education is important to any child’s life. Education is what builds a person up and help them make something of their self , and from a nobody to a somebody. Education is the key to any door you are trying to open.

When thinking of school, one might imagine a place filled with students lugging around heavy backpacks full of math and English homework, teachers giving lectures on the Civil War or the functions of a cell, and classrooms full of desks and dull decorations. But, it is exactly this mindset that proves America has gone wrong with education. Instead of a learning environment in which students are tested on mindless information, school should be a place where new and creative thinking is encouraged…

Dr. Maria Montessori based her method of teaching young children considering the fact that a child between two to six years passes through the ‘sensitive period for the refinement of senses’ and they can be helped in the development of the senses while they are in this formative period.

This is my laundry list of ideas and thoughts of how school could be different. The school week would be shortened…

I am Maria Montessori; I was born in a very small town in Italy named Chiaravalle. This was in the 1870’s, my family was well educated and wealthy, but because I was a girl I could only follow certain traditional expectations for a woman.
