[It is] the custom of pedagogues [teachers] to be eternally thundering in their pupil's ears . . . while the business of the pupil is only to repeat what the others have said. [N]ow I would have a tutor to correct this error. . . . [He should allow] his pupil himself to taste things, and to . . . choose them, sometimes opening the way to him, and sometimes leaving him to open it for himself. [T]hat is, I would not have [the teacher] alone . . . speak, but that he should also hear his pupil speak in turn. —Michel de Montaigne, “Of the Education of Children”
