"The secret of good teaching is to regard the [primary aged] child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim therefore is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core."
Dr Maria Montessori (1947). To Educate the Human Potential. p.11
