Montessori: A Modern Approach
by Paula Polk Lillard

some i’ve checked out from the library,
but many i’ve bought for my own collection.

it gets better with every book
and i’ve begun to see the changes in myself.
inshAllah, they will also reflect in my children.

should i train with AMI
(american montessori internationale)?
it’s about $10K
and to get my money back
– other than teaching my own children —
i’d have to work outside the home.
that is the dilemma:
teaching my own children
vice teaching someone else’s children.

i just wanna use my talents for the benefit of the ummah and the world…
