“I think that good education is not about control, but about openness. Every life has the instinct to grow automatically. Good education must be able to respond to this instinct and to support it. The reality, however, is that we often do too many things with good intentions to control such instinct of children, too many things to polish and curb the edges of children. Education is supposed to provide the sunshine and the rain, enabling each flower to bloom freely. Good education must be fully open: the sky should be open, so that the children could fly; the gate of truth should be open, so that the children could explore; the mind should be open, so that the child could breathe freely…In a school that is open rather than controlled, you will see different smiles, diverse ideas, various ways to grow—"Variety is the source of happiness". Only in such an ideal realm could we truly step into the territory of education.”
