Even «alternative» educators need to consider whether their approach is overly «child - centered» in a troubled world, because, they
assert, being neutral or indifferent to the moral condition of the world into which we are educating children ultimately amounts to an endorsement of the transmission
model; it is to say, in effect, that learning is an objective process and that the purpose of education is to transmit «knowledge» into young minds, even if the form of transmission doesn't look as harsh or artificial as it does in
conventional schooling.
