That education is not an affair of telling and being told, but an active and constructive process, is a principle almost as generally violated in practice as conceded in theory. Is not this deplorable situation due to the fact that the doctrine is itself merely told? It is preached it is lectured it is written about.

There must be a large variety of shared undertakings and experiences. Otherwise, the influences which educate some into masters, educates others into slaves.
John Dewey

John Dewey

John Dewey

John Dewey
We rarely recognize the extent in which our conscious estimates of what is worth while and what is not, are due to standards of which we are not conscious at all.
John Dewey
Plato defined a slave as one who accepts from another the purposes which control his conduct. This condition obtains even where there is no slavery in the legal sense. It is found wherever men are engaged in activity which is socially serviceable, but whose service they do not understand and have no personal interest in.
John Dewey
Language exists only when it is listened to as well as spoken. The hearer is an indispensable partner.
John Dewey
Confidence is directness and courage in meeting the facts of life.
John Dewey
The end justifies the means only when the means used are such as actually bring about the desired and desirable end.
John Dewey
The aim of education is growth: the aim of growth is more growth
John Dewey
