Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of treating students with respect and recognizing their autonomy in the learning process. It suggests that educators should not impose their choices or limit their students' knowledge and actions. Instead, education should empower students to explore and unlock their own potential and individuality. Each student has their unique aptitudes and interests, and educational success lies in acknowledging and nurturing them, allowing them to determine their own path and unlocking their hidden potential.
