The Most Developed Science Remains A Continual

Much Research In Psychology Has Been More Concerned With How Large Groups Of People Behave Than About The Particular Ways In Which Each Individual Person Thinks... Too Statistical. I Find This Disappointing Because, In My View Of The History Of Psychology, Far More Was Learned, For Example, When Jean Piaget Spent Several Years Observing The Ways That Three Children Developed, Or When Sigmund Freud Took Several Years To Examine The Thinking Of A Rather Small Number Of Patients.

During The Earliest Stages The Child Perceives Things Like A Solipsist Who Is Unaware Of Himself As Subject And Is Familiar Only With His Own Actions.

Children Have Real Understanding Only Of That Which They Invent Themselves, And Each Time That We Try To Teach Them Too Quickly, We Keep Them From Reinventing It Themselves.

Education, For Most People, Means Trying To Lead The Child To Resemble The Typical Adult Of His Society . . . But For Me And No One Else, Education Means Making Creators. . . . You Have To Make Inventors, Innovators...not Conformists

What Is Desired Is That The Teacher Ceased Being A Lecturer, Satisfied With Transmitting Ready-made Solutions. His Role Should Rather Be That Of A Mentor Stimulating Initiative And Research.
