divide him into pieces.
• He also criticized the study of Latin and Greek because he supported
the development of the mother tongue first.
• He also criticized the study of the classics as it did not prepare
students for practical life but rather bade them conceited.
• supported a more interactional approach to teaching in which the
students and teacher take turns talking and listening.
