What ED school are you talking about? My experience with ED school is completely opposite from what I'm hearing on this board.
My comment was intended to be sarcastic.
I don't believe that ed schools teach that you should let the children direct their own studies or be responsible for their own learning (although I do not speak from firtshand knowledge).
Education is supposed to be complicated, and best left to the professionals, that's my impression of what ed school proposes.
