The concept of freedom in the classroom is a freedom within limits. A child is free to move about the classroom at will, to talk with other children, to work with any equipment whose purpose he understands, and to ask the teacher for presentations of new material, so long as he does not disturb others. Actually, children who have the freedom to follow their interests are generally happily and busily involved in their work.
