Some
statements from this brochure, written by
A.J.Lynch Headmaster, West Green School, Tottenham, N.15.
The
relation between teacher and taught is a wrong relation.
The teacher
should be the helper, not the driver; the pursued, not the pursuer.
The advent
of the Dalton Plan and the interest shown
in it by teachers in all parts of the world are sure signs that teachers
realise the weaknesses of the old class methods and are seeking earnestly to
remedy them.
It is not
sufficient that the assignment be a mere reference to text-books, it needs the
Dalton touch and the Dalton spirit. Apart from the work to which the assignment
refers, the assignment itself should be interesting, attractive and helpful.
The ideal
assignment is, of course, an individual assignment for each child.
The brochure from 1926 was published by
THE DALTON ASSOCIATION
London
