Schools have ignored the value of experience and chosen to teach by pouring in.

Cease conceiving of education as mere preparation for later life, and make it the full meaning of the present life.

The interaction of knowledge and skills with experience is key to learning.

The acquisition however perfectly of skills is not an end in itself. They are things to be put to use as a contribution to a common and shared life.

To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed experience.

One of the saddest things about US education is that the wisdom of our most successful teachers is lost to the profession when they retire.

Doctrine that eliminates or even obscures the function of choice of values and enlistment of desires and emotions in behalf of those chosen weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action. It thus helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
