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

"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."

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

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

"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."
