He reveals his motivation following a series of writings commissioned by a popular magazine to highlight both shortcomings and successes within the schooling system. The author emphasizes the need for a child-centered approach to education that replaces outdated methods with innovative practices that prioritize health, critical thinking, and practical application of knowledge.
