Pedagogical ideas of J. Korczak
Polish /Israel intercultural meeting in Wroclaw

Korczak was one of the first pedagogues who changed the general attitudes of teachers and parents towards students and children. His general concept was that any child has his own way, his own path, on which he embarks immediately following birth. The role of a parent or a teacher is not to impose other goals on a child, but to help children achieve their own goals. His book How to Love a Child begins with the following sentence:

You are saying: "Children are annoying"
You clarify: "You need to always kneel to their perceptions".
You are wrong.
Because you actually need to tip-toe to their perceptions and ideals."
