About Peter Gray
Peter Gray is a research professor of psychology at Boston College, known for his advocacy of self-directed learning and the importance of play in child development. He is the author of the book 'Free to Learn' and founder of the Alliance for Self-Directed Education. His work draws on evolutionary psychology to challenge conventional schooling models.
Children are naturally driven to learn through play and self-directed exploration; coercive schooling suppresses this innate curiosity and can cause lasting psychological harm.
