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

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

Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.

School is not preparation for life, but school is life

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.
