PROPONENTS OF SELF-DIRECTED EDUCATION come to it from various perspectives. Many come from a perspective focusing on democratic values. Imposed education always involves a violation of what most democratic thinkers regard as basic human rights – the rights of self-determination, free assembly and free speech, among others. If children can become well educated without coercion, then it would seem to be immoral to subject them to coercive methods. ...I come to SDE partly from that perspective but even more from the perspective of evolutionary biology. I see imposed education as not only morally wrong but ineffective because it ignores and overrides children’s biologically natural ways of educating themselves and, in many, develops a distaste for learning that can interfere with a child’s natural zest for life and the learning that comes with life.
