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

"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."

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

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