Weinberg, David R. – Montessori Life: A Publication of the American Montessori Society, 2012
People have become accustomed to the imprecision of language, though imprecise language has a subtle way of misguiding thoughts and actions.

Instead of working alone, they prefer the…

Educational philosophy in elementary and secondary schools has often centered on creating a "product," full of content knowledge and basic skills (Bagby, 2002).
