Free education, as a rule, prides itself on the fact that it always leaves the choice of a life path to the pupil himself: «The choice of one’s life path is the natural right of the pupil himself.»
Whom he should become: a locksmith or a businessman — he decides for himself.
In comparison with the authoritarianism of adults, who have in mind only their own plans and do not look closely at the interests and abilities of children, such a position of free education inspires both understanding and respect. However, in cases where a child grows up in a family where parents are smart, loving and successful people in life, parents usually better than the child can say which future of the child will be happiness for him, and which one will be a dead end. Life experience has not yet been canceled.
Supporters of free education say that their task is to bring up a happy person, and what profession he will have, the child will choose for himself. It’s hardly the whole truth. A thief is also a peculiar profession, but supporters of free education do not consider such life choices, such a choice of a child is considered a pedagogical marriage.
It is believed that a normal child with a normal free upbringing cannot have such choices, since, according to the views of the humanistic approach, the nature of the child is initially positive.
In practice, teachers of the most free orientation will fight to the last, so that a cheerful boy, their graduate, does not go into a criminal business, does not start earning money as banditry, and the girl, their graduate, does not go to work as a prostitute.

A conscious choice of life path requires a high level of personal development.
But do our children, declaring their desire, always realize their real desires and aspirations? Do we remember the role that moods play here, random emotions, the desire to just leave here, or the desire to simply do everything in defiance? Is this an indicator of awareness, a high level of personal development? See →
