“The only way by which the individual may escape is that by which all humanity may be saved….help one another, or you will die.“
Dr. Maria Montessori from Spont. Act. in Ed., p. 277

 In scientific education, resolving disorder in the “adult personality” is not about just your own personal presence in the environment, but also includes the actions and influence of other adults as well. This means you have to work with these other adults to remove their harmful projections on children in the environment also.
 Â
 Sadly, helping other adults practice scientific teaching can be quite difficult due to strong differences of belief and ingrained negative behavior patterns from the past. So, even while you may have some great, enlightening learning experiences with others, such as in an IMS workshop, these experiences can quickly fade and disappear unless they are reinforced and made habitual in your regular, daily routine and interaction with others.
   Therefore, if you don’t already have a local support group of like-minded practitioners, create one for yourself to be accountable with others to correct and resolve mistakes as soon as they occur. Helping each other in this way is the only way to stay steady on the path of creating the “true natural” reality with children.
