Peaceful Children. Peaceful World: The Challenge of Maria Montessori

Summary: Peaceful Education??
Review: I recently found this book mysteriously placed on my desk. I am a teacher and am immensely bothered by this book. It proposes that it is a book of peaceful education, but relates public education to producing mindless, automatons of society, proposes that using machinery causes idleness and avarice, and the picture following the previous ideas, in this picture book, is of children in Nazi uniforms with a nazi flag in the background. I HIGHLY encourage people to reconsider the use of this book to teach peaceful education. This is not an accurate representation of Montessori principles, or peace education.
