The book “The Chimera of Education” by Boris Polomoshnov will change all your ideas about education. In all forms of Education - those that existed, exist and can exist - the author sees the same thing: the purposeful volitional influence of some people - those who educate - on the consciousness of others - those who are educated. Such an action is contrary to the very essence of human relations. Instead of education as a system of influence, the author proposes an effective, efficient, viable and humane system of interaction. In it, hierarchical relationships are replaced by partnership, fear by mutual respect, dictatorship by mutual understanding. The book is intended for fathers and mothers - both established and future ones, as well as everyone who is interested in the psychology of education and personality formation.
