Contemporary critique of progressive education tends to lump Rousseau together with Pestalozzi, Froebe!, and A.S. Neill who advocate a noninterventionist role for the teacher in education. This paper argues that such an interpretation of Rousseau's views on the role of a teacher is mistaken. Rousseau's views on the teacher's role in education are not compatible with the conventional laissez-faire approach of child-centered education; his views are not that simplistic. Rather, they represent a sophisticated attempt to balance the requirements of freedom with the need for control in education.
