"We know only too well the sorry spectacle of the teacher who, in the ordinary schoolroom, must pour certain cut and dried facts into the heads of scholars.  In order to succeed in this barren task, she finds it necessary to discipline her pupils into immobility and to force their attention."  Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, Chapter 1, p.21, Schocken Books, Inc., 1964.
