Intellectual Emancipation

“…such emancipation will begin when the student decides it will begin, and it will belong only for the student, not for the school. It will not begin because of a policy or practice, but in spite of a policy or practice. A policy or practice can only set the orbit of learning for a student, while intellectual emancipation happens when a student sets out on an orbit that is wholly his or her own…” (Bingham & Biesta, 2011, p. 24).
