The Odenvald School in Germany, a German School of Education

The Odenvald school is seen as a key aspect of the educational reform movement in Germany. The author credits the concept of pedagogical Eros, which was first cooked up by a guy named Gustav Weineken,. He was Paul Gheeb's old partner at the school he helped run before founding OdenVald. Venekin didn't see this as a bad thing and looked back to Platonic Greek attitudes towards teacher-student relationships.
