"The principle of slavery still pervades pedagogy, and therefore, the same principle pervades the school. I need only give one proof-- the stationary desks and chairs." Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.15-16, Schocken Books, Inc., 1964.
"The jockey offers a piece of sugar to his horse before jumping into the saddle, the coachman beats his horse that he may respond to the signs given by the reins; and yet, neither of these runs so superbly as the free horse of the plains." Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.21, Schocken Books, Inc., 1964.
