"When we say that 'education is an atmosphere,' we do not mean that a child should be isolated in what may be called a 'child-environment' especially adapted and prepared, but that we should take into account the educational value of his natural home atmosphere, both as regards persons and things, and should let him live freely among his proper conditions. It stultifies a child to bring down his world to the child's level.”

In this episode I continue discussing the big idea of "education is an atmosphere" -- specifically how children form a relationship with the world around them and why hands-on, real life learning is far superior to the artificial environment of the classroom.
