others are visual learners, some children thrive in group settings while others need independent studies. There is not one universal technique for teaching children. However there is one thing I find to be universal, children require respect. I found these to be a universal theme in all theories regarding education. One of such theorist who believed this was Maria Montessori. One of the first females to delve into the field of early childhood education Maria Montessori is an inspiration to me.

She strongly denounced a dictatorship-style classroom. One point she makes that I find intriguing is that “prizes and punishments are . . . the…

“She must guide the child leaving it free-this is the height and summit of liberty” (Maria Montessori/her life and work, page 286) I remember the boy, who was very calm and quite 3 year old. Every morning, He came into school and chose the knob cylinder over and over again. He worked with only the knobs for 2 hours and it last about for 6 months.
