Laissez faire is hand off style. Which the teacher will teach less and give more freedom to student to study and explore on their own.
Are you teaching? Have you been try this style before? Is it effective? Why? Please give your opinion? Is it only suitable in university and colleage? Can we apply this in primary school? Why?

We can apply this kind of teaching style not only among college and high school students but also among the primary and intermediate level students. This is suitable to the subject that i teach which is Science. I am into this subject catering to grades four up to five. Children really love to explore on things to discover something. They learn better when they touch and see a thing rather than hear it only from their teacher. Boredom is also eliminated since these students manipulate on real objects.

Yes, I am following the same method that you are thinking. This method helps the student in many ways. My students follow the method and now they are in good and sound condition in the subject. This method should be started from the primary school itself. So the children from primary get aquinted with the method and get a grip over the huge subject that they are odd to read.
