Famous quotes containing the words progressive and/or conservative:
“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 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 (18591952)
“To be conservative requires no brains whatsoever. Cabbages, cows and conifers are conservatives, and are so stupid they dont even know it. All that is basically required is acceptance of what exists.”
