Walter is the originator of the theory and practice of affective non-competitive education as a way to unify holistic educational practices. Affective Education is based on the idea that we can design education optologics.   Optologics is based on an objective theory of intelligence.  It is used to design affective learning systems where everyone will be successful if we begin with that policy. It is in contrast with competitive education as opposed to competitive education which is based on various subjective concepts of intelligence where there has to be winners and losers because we start out with that alternative policy. Competitive education is devastating for those who end up on the wrong side of the proverbial bell curve. It destroys intitiativeinitiative. This is especially true for children and youth who have not reached the maturity to fully comprehend the nature of competition.

Affective Education Affective learning is motivated by natural interest in learning new things and not by competition. It does incorporate competition as an aspect of human nature, but is not a factor in educational assessment. An affective education affective learning classroom would be a children's / youth workplace where academics are integrated into an experiential curriculum.
