As to Education major at Macon State College, I read this book for my Education 2403 class. Despite my problems with this book, I have to say, what did Dewey WAY ahead of his time, in my opinion! Most of his theories are relevant today, and as seeking, I can only imagine the reaction he received in the early 1900's. Unfortunately, this book is not easy to read. It feels much too technical in Both language and philosophy. For a student just entering on Educational major program, I think it would be great! HOWEVER, at this stage, the theories were repetitious to me. I had difficulty remaining focused as I read it. One point to emphasize: we never stop learning! I Hope that I can incorporate each of the many theories as I continue my own education.
