Q.Would you like to be a student at Hertford House?
A.Yes, I'd like to be a student at the school.
First, children have lots of chances to discuss with others. So they respect for individuality each other and can act freely.
Second, students are able to know how to solve the problems in the organization which they belong to. Because they have a lot of opportunity of thinking by themselves and keep discussing the issues until they accurately understand the problems. Therefore they can conprehend the reason why it happened and what they should do to solve it.
Third, there are no strict or traditional punishments.They have only many chance to talk. So children will be good at reaching an understanding without violence or hurting somebody's feelings when his or her wants clash against another person's one.
Fourth, in this school, parents also teach their children. There is an opportunity to see the children who have a variety of understanding level from close up. So the system is useful for parents when they educate their children at home.
This system which children, parents and teachers come together is wonderful. I think it is the education which prompt children to become independent gently but not spoil. If this system will be usual, the society may be calmer than now.
