Isn't it surprising that we remember our kindergarten rhymes more than our degree subjects which was in the near past? Have we ever pondered over this thought as to question ourselves how is it possible?. Those rhymes then were taught through action and movements that etched on to our memory for eternity as it was spontaneously observed and practiced.
Throughout our schooling we had to read books to take up examinations as we had no other source of acquiring knowledge. Ultimately, learning becomes limited and inadequate. Invariably and unconsciously children start depending upon books and try to progress only by memorizing the book matter without even knowing what it is about.
This gross neglect of understanding the subject without its interconnectivity with real world life goes a long way in blunting the children's capabilities of understanding the social, economic and moral values. In the Montessori Method, this limitation is overcome with ease by providing children with versatile source of knowledge centers internally and externally.
Respecting the child's need for exploration of nature forms a very important part of an individual's intellectual development which is one of the main guiding principle that underlines the Montessori education.
Not limiting to just subscribed subject books, makes children transcend barriers and overcome limitations found in the conventional system by grasping information from unlimited sources and collating it into a meaningful and exhaustive journals or projects or research papers. As the source and methods of acquiring information is versatile, examinations or assessments in any form is handled comfortably without strain or pressure.
