"生命を助けるためにそれ自身が展開するのを自由にさせるしかしそれが教育者の基本的な仕事です"
— Maria Montessori
Simplified Meaning:
An educator's main job is to help students grow while letting them become their own person. Think of a gardener who plants a seed. The gardener waters it and makes sure it gets enough sunlight, but they don't force it to grow in a certain way. They give it the care it needs and let it become whatever kind of plant it is meant to be. In the same way, teachers should provide the right tools and support, but let students find their own path. This approach helps children develop their unique skills and interests, making them happier and more successful in the long run. For example, if a child loves drawing, a teacher can give them art supplies and encourage them, rather than pushing them only to study subjects like math or science. This way, the child feels free to explore and grow in the direction that is best for them.
