Top Progressive Education Quotes

Progressive Education Quotes By Jonathan Kozol

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

The more closely he has observed the tugboat, the more deeply he has been stirred by it, and the more eagerly and vividly he will strive to recreate it, in building, in drawing, in words. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Frederic Bastiat

Now, legal plunder may be exercised in an infinite multitude of ways. Hence come an infinite multitude of plans for organization; tariffs, protection, perquisites, gratuities, encouragements, progressive taxation, free public education, right to work, right to profit, right to wages, right to assistance, right to instruments of labor, gratuity of credit, etc., etc. And it is all these plans, taken as a whole, with what they have in common, legal plunder, that takes the name of socialism. — Frederic Bastiat

Progressive Education Quotes By Erin Gruwell

I grew up in a very progressive family and with a great educational system, and I asked myself, 'Why doesn't everybody have these opportunities for a good education? So why not give back to these kids who didn't grow up with the same privileges I had?' — Erin Gruwell

Progressive Education Quotes By Katrina Vanden Heuvel

On issue after issue, the polls - and these are not snapshot polls; these are polls over a consistent period of time - show that most Americans share what one could call core liberal or progressive values: investment in health care and education over tax cuts; fair trade over free trade; corporate accountability over deregulation; environmental protection over laissez-faire policies; defending Social Security and Medicare over privatizing them; raising the minimum wage over eliminating it. The country prefers progressive alternatives to the failed policies of the conservative right. — Katrina Vanden Heuvel

Progressive Education Quotes By Thomas Piketty

Yeah, I am in favor of migration. But I am also in favor of education. But at the same time, I am in favor of progressive taxation. I think we need all of this. I think we don't have to choose one. — Thomas Piketty

Progressive Education Quotes By Dana Goldstein

At the Auditorium Building on September 8, the labor movement hosted a rally to organize against the Loeb Rule. Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor told the crowd that businessmen were engaged in a campaign "to eliminate men of brain and heart and sympathy and character" from the teaching force. U.S. Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis Post, a former member of Mayor Dunne's progressive school board, spoke about the threat the Teachers Federation had long posed to corporate interests more interested in lowering their own taxes than in improving the education of other people's children. "All over this country, in one form or another, it is a fight between what has been called the Interests, the special interests, and the interests of the public, the interests of the common people. That is the fight. — Dana Goldstein

Progressive Education Quotes By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

...she knew from school that that sort of literature was boring: Gorky was correct but somehow ponderous; Mayakovsky was very correct but somehow awkward; Saltykov-Shchedrin was progressive, but you could die yawning if you tried to read him through; Turgenev was limited to his nobleman's ideals; Goncharov was associated with the beginnings of Russian capitalism; Lev Tolstoi came to favor patriarchal peasantry - and their teacher did not recommend reading Tolstoi's novels because they were very long and only confused the clear critical essays written about him. And then they reviewed a batch of writers totally unknown to anyone: Dostoyevsky, Stepnyak-Kravchinsky, and Sukhovo-Kobylin. It was true that one did not even have to remember the titles of their works. In all this long procession, only Pushkin shone like a sun. — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Progressive Education Quotes By Sri Mulyani Indrawati

Accounting for the unpaid care economy can drive progressive policies such as paid family leave, social security credits for early childcare, tax credits, and quality early childhood education. — Sri Mulyani Indrawati

Progressive Education Quotes By John Dewey

The lesson for progressive education is that it requires in an urgent degree, a degree more pressing than was incumbent upon former innovators, a philosophy of education based upon a philosophy of experience.
I remarked incidentally that the philosophy in question is, to paraphrase the saying of Lincoln about democracy, one of education of, by and for experience. No one of these words, of, by, or for, names anything which is self-evident. Each of them is a challenge to discover and put into operation a principle of order and organization which follows from understanding what educative experience signifies. — John Dewey

Progressive Education Quotes By John Dewey

There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his [sic] activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying. — John Dewey

Progressive Education Quotes By Shelby Steele

Every single progressive education fad of the past thirty years has hurt poor black children. — Shelby Steele

Progressive Education Quotes By Linsey McGoey

frustration has flared up over the Common Core initiative, involving the implementation of national reading and maths standards for primary and secondary school children. The Gates Foundation played a central role in bringing the standards to fruition. Spending over $233 million to back the standards, the foundation dispersed money liberally to both conservative and progressive interest groups. The two major teachers' unions, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, each received large donations, as did the US Chamber of Commerce. Gates himself suggested that a benefit of the standards is that they open avenues towards increasing digital learning. In 2014, Microsoft announced it was partnering with Pearson to load Pearson's Common Core classroom material onto Microsoft's Surface tablet. Previously, the iPad was the classroom frontrunner; the Pearson partnership helps to make Microsoft more competitive. — Linsey McGoey

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

The freest child is the child who is most interested in what he is doing, and at whose hand are the materials for his work or play. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Fatema Mernissi

One cannot understand what's happening to women in the Middle East if they don't realize that the mothers are a strong, progressive force. The mothers push the daughters to get out of the harem, to get the education, to achieve what they could not even dream of. — Fatema Mernissi

Progressive Education Quotes By Sol Stern

Pedagogy of the Oppressed resonated with progressive educators, already committed to a 'child-centered' rather than a 'teacher-directed' approach to classroom instruction. Freire's rejection of teaching content knowledge seemed to buttress what was already the ed schools' most popular theory of learning, which argued that students should work collaboratively in constructing their own knowledge and that the teacher should be a 'guide on the side,' not a 'sage on the stage.' — Sol Stern

Progressive Education Quotes By Will Durant

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. — Will Durant

Progressive Education Quotes By Paulo Freire

At times, I have been criticized by some philosophers of education, who place me in postures that they classify pejoratively as 'revolutionary.' But I have had the satisfaction of being invited to work in societies making progressive efforts without wavering. They were changing, and so they called on me. — Paulo Freire

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

The most important phase of a child's life was the beginning of it. He must be started right. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By John Dewey

Traditional education tended to ignore the importance of personal impulse and desire as moving springs. But this is no reason why progressive education should identify impulse and desire with purpose and thereby pass lightly over the need for careful observation, for wide range of information, and for judgment is students are to share in the formation of the purposes which activate them — John Dewey

Progressive Education Quotes By Frederic Bastiat

Legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways; hence, there are an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, bonuses, subsidies, incentives, the progressive income tax, free education, the right to employment, the right to profit, the right to wages, the right to relief, the right to the tools of production, interest free credit, etc., etc. And it the aggregate of all these plans, in respect to what they have in common, legal plunder, that goes under the name of socialism. — Frederic Bastiat

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

Children learn eagerly and well when they have need of the knowledge. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

Children ... need most of the same things adults need
consideration, respect for their work, the knowledge that they and the things they do are taken seriously. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

A lifetime is not too long to spend in learning about the world. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Ziad K. Abdelnour

There is nothing inherently evil in the process of making money,
and the notion is illogical, but that is one of the underlying tenets
in our present education system. We are taught from an early age
that making money is hard and that those who make lots of money
are morally suspect. American culture studies programs at some of
the nation's leading universities have even gone so far as to teach the
absurd and illogical notion that the rich became rich because they
enjoy privilege earned on the backs of African slaves. Minority
millionaires like entrepreneur Herman Cain, Earl Graves, Sr., and
Reginald F. Lewis prove the utter nonsense of this notion, yet this
is the illogical Progressive philosophy that has permeated our education
system. — Ziad K. Abdelnour

Progressive Education Quotes By Matt Damon

Sending our kids in my family to private school was a big, big, big deal. And it was a giant family discussion. But it was a circular conversation, really, because ultimately we don't have a choice. I mean, I pay for a private education and I'm trying to get the one that most matches the public education that I had, but that kind of progressive education no longer exists in the public system. It's unfair. — Matt Damon

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

This was not the last time I was to spoil my own fun by asking questions. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Malcolm X

If you are in a country that is progressive, the woman is progressive. If you're in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it's because the woman is aware of the importance of education. But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed its because the women don't have education. — Malcolm X

Progressive Education Quotes By Adam Smith

For a very small expence the public can facilitate, can encourage, and can even impose upon almost the whole body of the people, the necessity of acquiring those most essential parts of education. — Adam Smith

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

It is only in retrospect that the high points of our lives rise up, flaunting banners. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

From the earliest days, we knew that it was not possible to do good work with the little children without the help of their parents. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Ellen Key

Education must be based on the certainty that faults cannot be atoned for or blotted out, but must always have their consequences. At the same time, there is the other certainty that, through progressive evolution, by slow adaptation to the conditions of environment, they may be transformed. — Ellen Key

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

A school's job [is] to begin education. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

The child, unhampered, does not waste time. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Education is the progressive unfolding of our own beauty with the light of knowledge like the blooming of a flower. — Debasish Mridha

Progressive Education Quotes By John Dewey

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. — John Dewey

Progressive Education Quotes By Mokokoma Mokhonoana

If human beings were really progressive creatures, then all boys would be smarter, healthier, and, wealthier, than their grandfathers. — Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

Children do not grow up all of a piece; look for the child of seven, especially to take many backward glances at the way he has come, while bounds and leaps unevenly ahead in his growth. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

Education [is] not an end in itself but [is] the first step in a progress which should continue during a lifetime. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

Childhood's work is learning, and it is in his play ... that the child works at his job. — Caroline Pratt

Progressive Education Quotes By Rousas John Rushdoony

For Dewey, the Great Community was the basic fact of history. The individual and the soul were invalid concepts, man was truly man, not as an individual, but as after Aristotle, in society and supremely in the State. Thus, for Dewey, true education mean not the development of the individual in terms of learning, but his socialization.
Progressive education ... educates the individual in terms of particular facts of the universe without reference to God, truth, or morality. — Rousas John Rushdoony

Progressive Education Quotes By Caroline Pratt

In his play he is no longer an onlooker merely; he is a part of the busy world of adults. He is practicing to take his place in that world when he is grown. He is getting is education. — Caroline Pratt
