2. ALTERRNATIVE EDUCATION MOVEMENT IN INDIA
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special
systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon
the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who
must be taught to think. Where as if the child is left to
himself, he will think more and better, if less “showily.”
let him come and go freely, let him touch real things
and combine his impression for himself… teaching fills
the mind with artificial associations that must be got
rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas
out of actual experiences.
