Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or dewey:

    I have heard many years of telling,
    And many years should see some change.
    The ball I threw while playing in the park
    Has not yet reached the ground.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)
