Palma’s Educational Philosophy

Palma advocated “academic freedom”.

“The teacher is not supposed to dramatize. He has no right to impose on his students
his theories or personal belief. He is expected to stimulate free discussion; leaving to his
students the choice of the system of thought which best satisfies their reason.

Reactions Regarding Palma’s’ Educational Philosophy

Teachers really don’t have the right to force his students about his belief but a teacher
have the right to impart his belief just for the students to see other knowledge aside
from what they know. This knowledge that they will get from their teachers will help
them to decide of what theory they will believe. Still the philosophy of Palma has its
advantage, this is to make students believe and follow what they really wanted to do.
