| John Dewey
By reading the characteristic features of any man's castles in the air you can make a shrewd guess as to his underlying desires which are frustrated. Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself. Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. 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. Just as a flower which seems beautiful and has color but no perfume, so are the fruitless words of the man who speaks them but does them not. Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid. Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis. |
