PITHY QUOTES FROM PAST MASTERS
The source of whatever is dead, mechanical, and formal in schools is found precisely in the subordination of the life and experience of the child to the curriculum. It is because of this that "study" has become a synonym for what is irksome, and a lesson identical with a task.
The Middle Works of John Dewey, 1899-1924. Volume 2: 1902-1903, The Child and the Curriculum
