The book Education and Peace is a collection of speeches delivered by Dr. Montessori at t...he various international congresses. Heres a quote from one of the congresses where she (quite ahead of her time) proposed development as a non-linear matter: Childrens interests do not remain the same as they pass through the various stages of childhood. Moreover, children do not have a linear pattern of development (Montessori, 2015, p.76) Montessori, M. (2015) Education and Peace. Amsterdam: Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company.
