Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and... - John Dewey

"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."

"a problem well put is half solved."

"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."

"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."
