Google on Friday honored Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori with a homepage doodle celebrating her 142nd birth anniversary.
Google’s co-founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, both went through the Montessori education system and have credited it for their success.
“I think it was part of that training of not following rules and orders and being self-motivated, questioning what’s going on in the world, doing things a bit different,” Page said in an interview with ABC (below).
