Heersink's distillation of the "essence" of Rousseau's Emile is so bazaar, tendentious and misleading that I am left to wonder whether he has read a single page of the book that he finds so tedious and banal.
In Emile, Rousseau sets out to show how, even in the midst of the corrupting forces of society, it might still be possible to raise a healthy, fully-actualized, harmonious individual; a human being whose inner nature is developed and realized in its potentialities.
Such an education is not possible under the instruction of trees, bears and geysers, but only through the most exquisite attentiveness of the tutor, who, through constant vigilance, tries to develop the mind and sentiments of his pupil without giving a foothold to the social passions that make children vain, greedy, manipulative, and deceitful.

 Holistic Education Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Many holistic educators believe that, at its core, Holistic Education centers on the understanding that we as humans need to learn much more than simply how to earn a living or conform to a culture if we are to have meaningful lives.
Other characteristics of Holistic Education often include inquiry into that which makes self-actualization possible, such as expressions of competencies such as good judgement, the ability to be free, the ability to discover and refine values, or meta-learning.
Other topics such as eco-psychology, emancipatory education, authentic forms of educational assessment, or social action in education may or may not fall within the field of Holistic Education, depending upon how the issues are framed by the inquirer.

Informal Jewish education is rooted in the belief that the active interchange between students and between students and educators is a critical dimension of Jewish learning.
Informal Jewish education is as concerned with igniting the dialogic with the learner as it is with transmitting the culture.

 Richardson, "From Emile to Frankenstein"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Emily's education, including a "general view of the sciences," "every part of elegant literature," and the inculcation of "modesty, simplicity, and correct manners," represents the most advanced eighteenth-century liberal thinking, anticipating the educational programs of Erasmus Darwin and of Richard and Maria Edgeworth, and standing out incongruously against the novel's sixteenth-century setting (6, 24).
Safie, to begin with, is educated by her lover, Felix De Lacey, much as Sophie is educated by Emile (or Fanny by Edmund in Mansfield Park).
Neither the domesticating process of a "sexual education" nor the independent rigors of self-education can, in the end, correct for woman's "otherness" in a male-defined society; the first leaves her too weak, a passive victim like Elizabeth or Justine, the second too independent, necessitating her exile and ultimately her destruction.

 SparkNotes: Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Èmile
The system of education Rousseau proposes details a specific pedagogy for each stage of life, an educational method that corresponds with the particular characteristics of that stage of human development.
However, the education Rousseau proposes involves working only with a private tutor and studying and reading only what he is curious about, only that which is “useful” or “pleasing.” Rousseau explains that in this manner Èmile will essentially educate himself and be excited about learning.
Rousseau’s belief that any formal education, whether scholastic or religious, should not be started until adolescence was a radical suggestion at a time when well-bred children were expected to begin religious training in particular by the age of six or seven.

Nay, marriage will never be held sacred till women, by being brought up with men, are prepared to be their companions rather than their mistresses.19 After the age of nine, girls and boys intended for domestic employments or mechanical trades will be removed to other schools.
