Understanding Freinet (Max Milo Editions)

Freinet is one of France's most famous educationalists, but his work is the subject of many misunderstandings and misleading simplifications, which the author dispels by going back to the fundamentals of the thinker.Free writing, school walks, printing, student councils, etc. are just some of the techniques developed by Freinet at based on pedagogical, political, psychological and epistemological theories. But do these methods and ideas still have a place today? Contributing to the French debate on schools, Baptiste Jacomino shows us that Freinet's system is open, not without its critics, but also open to evolution and adaptation at any time and in any place.
