Education shifts from imposed discipline to demanded self-discipline

Evidence

From an almost purely dogmatic education, in which learning by heart plays a great part, the pupil passes to the creative phase, the phase of autonomous, independent work. From the school, where his studies are subjected to a discipline that is imposed and controlled by authority, the pupil passes on to a phase of study or of professional work in which intellectual self-discipline and moral independence are theoretically unlimited. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 344
