One of my favorites

One of my favorite Dewey lines from anywhere comes at the end of this essay. It's right at the end. After he makes the point that the curriculum is for the teacher, not the child, he then says:

It says to the teacher: Such and such are the capacities, the fulfillments, in truth and beauty and behavior, open to these children. Now see to it that day by day the conditions are such that their own activities move in this direction, toward such culmination of themselves.

Dewey is sort of throwing down the gauntlet, in his very Deweyan way.
