Below are some quotes and images that I find insightful and eye-opening. They are beliefs that I hope I can connect my teaching with.

“Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not preparation for life but is life itself.” ―John Dewey 

“Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.” ―John Dewey

“If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.” ―John Dewey 

“The educational process has no end beyond itself; it is its own end.” ―John Dewey 

”Education is not an affair of ‘telling’ and being told, but an active and constructive process.” ―John Dewey

”There’s no such thing as neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom.” ―Paulo Freire

”Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people–they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress.” ―Paulo Freire

“I would rather see a school produce a happy street cleaner than a neurotic scholar” ―A.S. Neill

“Traditional education touches from the neck up, it doesn’t touch the rest of the body, meaning it doesn’t touch the emotions.” ―A.S. Neill
