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.

~ John Dewey

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

~ John Dewey

There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract. The notion that some subjects and methods and that acquaintance with certain facts and truths possess educational value in and of themselves is the reason why traditional education reduced the material of education so largely to a diet of predigested materials.

~ John Dewey

Faith in the possibilities of continued and rigorous inquiry does not limit access to truth to any channel or scheme of things. It does not first say that truth is universal and then add there is but one road to it.

~ John Dewey
