Another Brick In The Wall

We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life - Maria Montessori

Hope for the future

My biggest hope is that I can have a positive influence on children and families, and, therefore, on society. I think that spreading tolerance is the key to the future of humankind.

I have gained a real understanding of the importance of respecting and celebrating human difference, and of helping children to see their own worth as well as the worth of others. I have gotten so much out of reading the blogs and discussion posts of my classmates. I so appreciate the passion for anti-bias education that has been shared with me. Good luch to everyone.
