"Today we hold the pupils in school, restricted by those instruments so degrading to body and spirit, the desk-- and material prizes and punishments. Our aim in all this is to reduce them to the discipline of immobility and silence,-- to lead them, --where? Far too often toward no definite end." Maria Montessori, p. 26, The Montessori Method, Schocken Books, 1964.
