About this Quote
Maria Montessori is expressing that the main function of a teacher is to help in the growth and development of their trainees' lives, while enabling them to preserve their independence and liberty. The educator is not suggested to manage or limit the students, however rather assist them towards discovering their own abilities and capacities.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
