It is not an argument, except indirectly, for the separation of education and state nor is it a critique of present and past state-run schooling. It is an argument for the abolition of coercion in all areas of life. What is the ideal education system? asks the author. One that rejects the premise of obedience to authority. Not just in teaching, but also in parenting and in all social relations. Just as an ideal social system would allow citizens to pursue their values without interruption or control from an outside authority, namely the state, so also the ideal education system should allow children and students to concentrate without interruption on the learning tasks that interest them. The adult guides and nurtures the young, neither coercing nor neglecting them, to develop the confidence and independence required for an adult life in a capitalist society.     Montessori: Science Behind the Genius 2nd edition by Angeline Stoll-Lillard Hardback   also avaiable in DVD      Qty 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Price AUD $ 59.95   In Montessori, Angeline Lillard shows that science has finally caught up with Maris Montessori.
