Hi there folks,
I thought we will begin with some of the things that John Dewey said in his article. In this particular post, we will look at his take on "What Education Is". I will be quoting you a paragraph that he mentioned that I think is thought provoking and would like for you to share your ideas and comments.
"Hence it is impossible to prepare a child for any precise set of conditions. To, prepare him for the future life means to give him command of himself; it means so to train him that he will have the fill and ready use of all his capacities; that his eye and ear and hand may be tools ready to command, that his judgement may be capable of grasping the conditions under which it has to work, and the executive forces be trained to act economically and efficiently."
So my question is, this was said some time in the late 1890s. Is it still relevant and if it is, what does this mean for us? Share your thoughts teachers!
