Education that derives from the self-chosen activities and life experiences of the person being educated is education that will remain with the child.

This is about children making their own decisions. This is especially important now, in a time where many of our children are educating from home. Testing, sitting in classrooms, and doing to things to please parents, is not the way to encourage explorative thinking and growth.
