“Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.”
More from John Dewey on Education
“The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
“Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.”
“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.”
