Title
The Paideia Proposal: An Educational Manifesto
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The Paideia Proposal Is A System Of Liberal Education Intended For All Children. It Was A Response To What Adler Characterized As The United States' Antidemocratic Or Undemocratic Educational System, A Holdover From The 19Th Century, When The Understanding Of Basic Human Rights Fell Short Of 20Th Century Expectations.The Paidea Proposal Was Based Upon The Following Assumptions: 1) All Children Are Educable; 2) Education Is Never Completed In School Or Higher Institutions Of Learning, But Is A Lifelong Process Of Maturity For All Citizens; 3) The Primary Cause Of Learning Is The Activity Of The Child'S Mind, Which Is Not Created By, But Only Assisted By The Teacher; 4) Multiple Types Learning And Teaching Must Be Utilized In Education, Not Just Teacher Lecturing, Or Telling; And 5) A Student'S Preparation For Earning A Living Is Not The Primary Objective Of Schooling.Adler Stressed That The Proposal Is Much More Than Just A Return To The Basic Skills Of Reading, Writing And Arithmetic. It Is Not Simply A Return To The Values Of Classical Civilization, But A Return To What Is Of Enduring Value. It Is A Democratic Proposal Intended For The Education Of All, And Not An Elitist Program As Some Have Alleged.
