Freedom in Education By Jon Thoreau Scott October 28, 2022 from AERO An old military adage states that when you are in the Army never volunteer for anything. I made this mistake when replying to an E-mail from Jerry Mintz last month. I gave him my opinion that I don’t get too involved in all of the AERO conferences because not all of the members of AERO recognize, sincerely, the value of freedom in the learning process. In many of the AERO conferences I got into arguments with some who had good ideas about such things as democracy in education, child-centered learning and other approaches, but I thought that some ideas involved too much teaching and grading and not enough encouragement of the learning process.
