Tagore is convinced that an ideal school should be amidst nature. In Shantiniketan, lessons take place
mostly outside in the shade of trees. For schools in less warm climates, he recommends spending at
least one school day completely outside, not counting sports, games, and excursions. He also believes
that boarding schools are most advantageous, as they can be far away from cities and therefore permit
children to move about more freely.
They also allow for more simplicity and for protection from the overburdening stimuli of the modern
world (such as too much entertainment, ready-made products, and luxury) and from their parents’
narrow aspirations. Tagore cherishes self-chosen simplicity – without idealizing poverty! – because he
thinks that an excess of material goods can restrict the direct experience of the world, inflate the self,
and hamper true maturation.
By protecting children from their parents’ narrow aspirations, Tagore means that parents should be
careful not to confer their own desires for the material and purposeful to their children and their much
simpler needs; either through mollycoddling or through modeling and pushing them towards their own
worldly aspirations of turning them into mere “moneymakers.” He emphasizes how important it is for
children to experience nature through their bodies – without having windows, chairs, or shoes in the
way –, and to develop creativity and responsibility when they are lacking ready-made products and
instruments. He argues: “The real king is he who is able to create his own kingdom.”
