"And gradually we educators are confronted with a simple but important fact: that to help the child is not what he needs, and indeed that to give help is an impediment for the child. Therefore he must be allowed to act freely on his own initiative in this free environment."
- Dr. Maria Montessori, Four Planes of Education, AMI, 1971 (Edinburgh and London lectures), pg 4
