The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.

A single course of studies for all progressive schools is out of the question; it would mean abandoning the fundamental principle of connection with life-experiences.

I believe that the only true education comes through the stimulation of the child's powers by the demands of the social situations in which he finds himself.

Education is a social process ... Education is growth.... Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself.

Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.

Education is a regulation of the process of coming to share in the social consciousness; and that the adjustment of individual activity on the basis of this social consciousness is the only sure method of social reconstruction.
