Respect the child. While learning, a child should receive respect from his family, from his teachers, and from his peers. A child needs to learn the way he wants, and everyone needs to except his ways. In order to do the best they can they need to set their own path of education, and learn what they want to learn. In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay, “from Education,” he explains the ways a child should experience his education. Emerson emphasizes the importance of respecting a child throughout his essay. He engages with his readers to make a clear point. Throughout a child’s learning experiences he needs to receive respect and make his own path in order to do the best he can.
A parent may not dictate a child’s life when it comes to education.
