The art of love as pedagogy:
Education is identical with helping the child realize his potentialities. The opposite of education is manipulation which is based on the conviction that a child will be right only if the adults put into him what is desirable and suppress that which seems to be undesirable. There is no need of faith in the robot, since there is no life it in it either”
-Erich Fromm, Art the of Love, pg. 104-105
