  Educationalist Theory
The "Educationalists" believed that children were born as "blank slates", beginning their lives morally neutral.
A child's nature and personality would develop over childhood, a period of time during which the educationalists believed a child was particularly impressionable.
On the other hand, later educationalists saw the cultivation of the imagination a worthwhile pursuit, and encouraged the use of literature such as poetry and mythology.

 That Dreadful Educationalist, A.S. NEILL
At the beginning of the twenty-first century there were schools around the world which had been founded because of Neill's inspiration or which had borrowed or adopted many of his ideas for their philosophy.
Educationalists and university professors, who on the surface may be sympathetic or reasonable in their discussions of Neill, are by no means immune to this problem either.
This is a tough one for teachers and educationalists to come to terms with as opinions like these question the whole validity of their existence and so Neill's ideas have a tendency, if not to be dismissed, then to be written about with many reservations.

 A. S. Neill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexander Sutherland Neill ( October 17, 1883 - September 23, 1973) was a Scottish educationalist recognised as one of the leading pioneers in education.
However, merely 'appeasing children' by 'making sure they do interesting and constructive things' which is an accepted modern educational ethic, whilst it does unquestionably contribute positively to both their childhood happiness and their educational requirements, would not, on its own, satisfy Neill.
If both the old fully-coercive model and the newer partially-coercive model have failed to satisfy educationalists, Neill would be perplexed as to why his 'minimally coercive' model was at least not the subject of more research into childhood education.

It is surely no accident that the question of defining a knowledge base common to everyone has recurred like a refrain throughout the debate on the school of the future, chaired by Claude Thélot.
