Romantic naturalists believed in promoting a persons natural inclinations, and allowing a student to work personally with a teacher/mentor, who will guide them to reach their own personal potential instead of shaping the student into a specific mold. They believed that a students going out into nature allowed for them to search themselves for deeper aspects of self and realize their own passions. They valued a more individual kind of education, as apposed to classroom learning.
I also think they were big on every kind of specialization being equally valid (that is, art being as important as math or science or trade skills).
