Sloyd Method

Was watching the Woodwright Shop on PBS and learned of a woodworker named Otto Salomon who employed the Sloyd Method of working wood. He insisted that a teacher never....ever touch the students work. The "Here..let met show you..method" just didn't work for him. He believed that a student must work hard to achieve a standard on his own, coaching with words were ok... but nothing was to be done by the teacher on the project. The Sloyd method of teaching is very interesting. I'll read more and get back to making an updated entry.
