John Dewey

"Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results."

"a problem well put is half solved."

"Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes."

"The goal of education is to enable individuals to continue their education."

"To find out what one is fitted to do, and to secure an opportunity to do it, is the key to happiness."

"For in spite of itself any movement that thinks and acts in terms of an ‘ism becomes so involved in reaction against other ‘isms that it is unwittingly controlled by them. For it then forms its principles by reaction against them instead of by a comprehensive, constructive survey of actual needs, problems, and possibilities."

"The goal of education is to enable individuals to continue their education."

"Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself."

"As we have seen there is some kind of continuity in any case since every experience affects for better or worse the attitudes which help decide the quality of further experiences, by setting up certain preference and aversion, and making it easier or harder to act for this or that end."

"Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results."
