John Holt on How Children Learn 4.mov

Part 4 of 4. This is a talk John Holt presented to Swedish teachers in Gothenberg, Sweden on March 22, 1982. Like most of the audio tapes I have, this was recorded by John while he spoke, so the quality is a bit rough. I've removed as much hiss as I could, and the entire speech is here, though part 4 ends abruptly during the Q&A. However, you are able to grasp his final point, one he made often: schools should be more like public libraries, in spirit and in organization.

Swedish Gov't kidnapped a 7 year old boy from his mother on the airplane as she was taking him back to her homeland, India. They made an example out of an innocent child all because his mother had the audacity to act in his best interest removing him from a school where he was uncomfortable and taking her own parental rights and responsibility into her own hands to provide for his education as she saw fit.
