Essentially, there is no education other than self-education, whatever the level may be. [...] Every education is self-education, and as teachers we can only provide the environment for children's self- education. We have to provide the most favorable conditions where, through our agency, children can educate themselves according to their own destinies. This is the attitude that teachers should have toward children, and such an attitude can be developed only through an ever-growing awareness of this fact.     --Rudolf Steiner
