A potential for pain, or an unrecognizable event, causes fear. The amygdalae, organs in the limbic system, detect such possibilities and send the signals which generate the fear emotion, which sets off avoidance activities. Unlike the rational brain, emotions trigger a variety of instinctual attitudes and behaviors.

The goal of a Montessori education is not to drill and memorize but to develop the skills and habits that facilitate a lifetime love for learning. Teachers are more than guardians â they are partners in the self-directed education of their students.
