The author’s purpose is to inform people about kinds of disciplines he states there are according to many years of research based on his experience as a fourteen-year-teacher in grade and high schools. A child may learn from three different kinds of disciplines: Discipline of Nature or of Reality; a child

The excerpt “Three Kinds of Discipline” from John Holt’s book “Freedom and Beyond” give the reader some fine points on the different disciplines needed by a young person to learn certain tasks and be successful. Holt highlights how important self-learning is in conjunction with supplied learning. One of his examples was a child playing with blocks. If the child has them leaning or puts one out of place while stacking them‚ they will fall down. The child then learns from that and will remember

The Three Disciplines all appeal to me in some ways‚ but if I had to choose between anthropology‚ psychology‚ and sociology‚ I would have to choose psychology. The reasoning behind it will be explained in detail but it can be broken down to three main reasons; being the first discipline with verified results and facts rather than unproven theories‚ having more post-high school opportunities considering that I wish to pursue a career in business‚ and being the most in-depth discipline.

Well John Holt wrote a really good article about his thoughts called “Making Children Hate Reading.” Making Children Hate Reading is a good article because he uses real life situations and compares his thoughts to others but using several different examples‚ such as Mark Twain’s work.

John Caldwell Holt was born April 14‚ 1923. After finishing his studies‚ he served in the 2nd World War as part of the submarine service in the U.S.Navy.

most basic summarization of my thoughts on John Holt’s “How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading” would be to say I am in strong agreement with him. Holt describes his teaching experience with elementary school students and how he’s found fault in the most commonly used methods of such.

A main factor in reading or writing should be the enjoyment of it
