Editing Progressive education (section)

===Cecil Reddie===
While studying for his doctorate in [[Göttingen]] in 1882–1883, [[Cecil Reddie]] was greatly impressed by the progressive educational theories being applied there.  Reddie founded [[Abbotsholme School]] in [[Derbyshire]], England, in 1889. Its curriculum enacted the ideas of progressive education. Reddie rejected rote learning, classical languages and corporal punishment. He combined studies in modern languages and the sciences and arts with a program of physical exercise, manual labour, recreation, crafts and arts. Schools modeling themselves after Abbotsholme were established throughout Europe, and the model was particularly influential in Germany.<ref>{{cite web
