- “Superwoman Was Already Here” – (Daniel C. Petter-Lipstein, http://superdrmaria.com)
We’ve all heard about the movie, “Waiting for Superman,” but some people feel that the champion of many educational issues was already here. Her name was Dr. Maria Montessori. - “The Single Best Idea for Reforming K-12 Education” (Steve Denning, Forbes Magazine online, September 1, 2011)
“Unlike many other ideas now being pursued in education, the shift in goal [necessary for true education reform] doesn’t require years of research or armies of consultants or vast funding. It doesn’t involve reinventing the wheel. Thousands of Montessori schools have been on this track for many years, with extraordinary results.” - Thoughts on Education and Parenting: “Mistakes & Failure and Grit & Success”
