Education and self image in modern early schooling
Excerpts discuss John Holt's critique of overly affectionate teaching and its impact on ten year olds. The author questions crowding of children, the balance of harshness and ceremony, and whether praise inflates self worth or masks true ability. They reflect on report cards, failure, and a shift to more impersonal guidance.
