- Development of social and emotional skills.
- Schooling involves SEL (opportunities for self-management), teaching of discipline (autonomy/responsibility) and specific academic training.
- Teachers lead the student to the threshold of their own minds (akin to ZoPD). Illustrate the various beauties of the world, wait for them to grasp at something.
