Bethel, Dayle; Hurley, Maura
SKOLE: The Journal of Alternative Education, v15 n3 p8-22 Sum 1998
Dean of International University Learning Center (Kyoto, Japan) argues that traditional educational systems disregard developmental needs of children and prevent change by perpetuating societal values. The idea that children need to develop as an integral part of their natural and social systems is discussed in relation to alternative education principles and practices, education for creative living, and teachers' role.
