The education of children with regard to growth takes account of growth as necessary and unavoidable. We either cooperate with it creatively and thrive or we ignore and resist it and suffer dire consequences.

This essay is therefore for those who believe they are able to be true teachers, and of course also for those who are unhappy with what they are presently offering their pupils.
