Description
The Harm of Coercive Schooling by Peter Gray
Developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that traditional schooling methods are based on coercion, which interferes with children's natural learning processes and leads to negative outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and bullying.
This collection of essays explores the harm caused by coercive schooling, from its effects on older students to its impact on young children, and offers a vision for alternative approaches to education that prioritize freedom, autonomy, and joy.
