It reflects the basic philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori in today's world that no human is educated by another person. He must do it himself or it will never be done. A truly educated individual continues learning long after the hours and years he spends in the classroom because he is motivated from within by a natural curiosity and love for knowledge.
