	Friedrich Froebel and informal education
		Friedrich Froebel's enduring significance was through his formulation of the 'kindergarten system' with its emphasis on play and its use of 'gifts' (play materials) and 'occupations (activities).
		As a result, Froebel sought to encourage the creation of educational environments that involved practical work and the direct use of materials.
		Froebel's abiding influence has come in part from the efforts of followers such as Bertha von Marenholtz-BÃ¼low and the thinkers such as Diesterweg.

		Froebel's teaching career was interrupted from 1813 to 1815 by service in the Prussian army and by work as an assistant in the Mineralogical Museum of the University of Berlin.
		In spite of interest in Froebel's work by progressive educators, his ideas, which stressed encouraging the natural growth of a child through action or play, were too novel to be readily accepted by the public, and for a time he found it financially difficult to carry on his school.
		Froebel is considered one of the greatest contributors of the 19th-century to the science of education.

		Froebel, whose mind delighted in harmonizing apparent contradictions, and who taught that all progress lay through opposites to their reconciliation, maintained that the child belonged both to the family and to society, and he would therefore have children spend some hours of the day in a common life and in well-organized common employmentr.

	Was Adler Influenced by Froebel? - Alfred Adler Institute of San Francisco
		Wright claimed in his later years that as a child he was deeply influenced by the Froebel "gifts," a set of geometric wooden shapes and colored tiles that were part of a sensory/conceptual/spiritual educational process.
		Considering that many of Adler's principles resonate with those of Froebel as well as Wright, it is possbile that Adler, as a very young child, like many other creative individuals of his generation, was also deeply influenced by Froebel's ideas, materials, and philosophy of living.
		I see no specific reference to Froebel in any of the Adlerian literature; however, considering time and place, (Adler was born in 1870 in Vienna) it is probable that he attended a Froebel kindergarten.

		Gatto wants to punish Froebel for his patriotism but gives him no credit for the fact that the school-minded Prussians banned the kindergarten because it appeared to threaten the control they had on society.
		Froebel sought to empower mothers and fathers to educate their own children according their own spritual ideas -- sounds like homeschooling to me.
		As the situation worsened, the Froebel method was corrupted and misinterpreted.
