This article isolates and analyzes several philosophical misinterpretations of the philosophy of freedom in education current in the free school movement. It is easy to exaggerate one aspect of a philosophy in such a way as to violate its spirit; perhaps the most notable exaggeration common in the free school movement is the focusing on the removal of restrictions from the student to the neglect of providing opportunities for exploration and development desired by the student.
