RE: The underestimation of a child

in #philosophy8 years ago

You are spot on! People consistently underestimate children. I'm not a parent, but my time as a teacher and a big brother has taught me that, when given the proper environment, children are capable of radical learning. No teacher required. In fact, trying to 'teach' children is often a mistake. Their brains are learning machines, and when we don't understand them, we might get in the way of their natural exploration.
