Education Is a Love for Humanity

The waldwort method did not begin with this principle, but from the fact that people do not yet know what education should be. The first thing we gave teachers in the semenar was a basic knowledge of the human being. We hoped that by contemplating the true nature of humanity, inner enthusiasm and love for education would grow within them. With such knowledge comes a spontaneous love for humanity. That is the very best quality for the practice of education. Pedagogy is a love for humanity resulting from knowing humanity.
