Preliminary section Q & A 1-5
1. Show that children are a public trust. What follows?
Make the very most of them for good of society. Strike that answer....upon reading the forward to Government Nannies I see that by exploiting Children and using them as the reason to get tax payers money to "better the children" by having programs from Parents as Teachers, preschools, kindergarten, and institutional schools, they are really covering up their true agenda...My son is not a public trust. The Lord gave him to us to raise, not the city/state I live in.
2. What questions does Pestalozzi put to mothers?
How shall this heart, this head, these hands, be employed? to whose service shall they be dedicated?
3. What is Mr Herbert Spencer's argument for the study of education?
The development of children follows certain laws and parents should know them: physical, moral, and intellectual laws.
4. How do parents usually proceed?
Either as a pitcher to pour knowledge into or just let him be assuming over time he'll learn all he needs to - or in other words either too much or too little educating
5. What is the strenuous part of a parent's work?
This question stumped me. I was thinking maybe it should be answered that we should avoid a systematical approach to learning and opt for a method which can be tailored to the individual child as a whole. The system say do these steps in this order and you should get this result. But the method is not so rigid. |
