How Children Learn by John C. Holt
5.0
John Holt is praised and revered in the homeschooling world, but his thoughts about how children learn can give any parent or teacher something to think about. What I love most about this book is that it is obvious he truly respects children and invites you to look at situations through his lens. While many of his idea are less controversial than they were when he wrote them down, I still think they are pretty radical when compared with how we educate our kids. This quote on the last page sums up what I’m trying to say
“Gears, twigs, leaves, little children love the world. That is why they are so good at learning about it. For it is love, not tricks and techniques of thought, that lies se the heart of all true learning. Can we bring purse to let children learn and grow through that love?”
