Everyone talks about peace but no one educates for peace. In this world, they educate for competition, and competition is the beginning of any war. When educating to cooperate and owe each other solidarity, that day we will be educating for peace.

The Montessori Method:
Of course men and children felt the major shift of the 70s...but women changed from stiff hairstyles to long loose hair, from shirtwaist dresses to bell bottoms or mini skirts, from being subservient to knowing their power!
