What was John Holt's conclusion about schools?
assistant
Holt's conclusion was that schools were "a place where children learn to be stupid. "Once he developed this conclusion, his focus shifted to making suggestions to help teachers and parents capable of teaching their children how to learn, thus prompting his second book, "How Children Learn", in 1967. Despite his successful career, he still met rejections, resentment, and false hopes from colleagues and school systems surrounding his ideas and methods.
