Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a distillation of the methods and principles of the Temple School, which the author established in Boston in the 19th century. Through a narrative of the school's first year, the author discusses his vision for education, which has as its goals the development of self-awareness, self-government, and moral reasoning. The author's guiding principle is that children are naturally inclined toward spiritual growth; his methods are designed to cultivate that inclination. Concepts such as kindness, humility, and compassion are discussed openly in this unique school, and all aspects of the curriculumâ"including reading, writing, and arithmeticâ"are used as a means of developing these traits. This book offers valuable insights into the history of education, providing an alternative perspective on the purpose of teaching.
