Do you really expect any intellectually honest person to believe this? I suggest you do some real--that is, unbiased--research before posting videos like this. I wouldn't usually bother to comment on something so ignorant and uninformed, but seeing that this video has more "likes" than "dislikes" I felt obliged.
To all who watched this: Give Dewey a fair, critical reading of your own. You don't have to either buy into everything he say or reject it all. Just read him and decide for yourself.

@sleeper2345 Go back to your ignorant slumbers, Sleeper.

Seems to me he said one thing and did another. I've read some of the things he wrote and they were great ideas. However the "Whole-word" approach over phonics seems like an obvious attempt to subvert things. I don't think that today this should be used as anti-democratic propaganda as much as it's been used. People forget that the Republicans fought to keep labor down for decades.

@GodGunsGutsandNRA It is sad how uninformed or misinformed you are regarding John Dewey. This video shows the ignorance of the group who produced it. There are so many errors in it and so much written by Dewey and about him that would show the mistakes in it, As an example read Progressive = Permissive? Not According to John Dewey…Subjects ...

It is amazing that you are actually serious. I agree with Sleeper, you need to do some wider reading.

John Dewey and Dr Spock were both quacks, and should have been hanged.

No, but just because you remember something, it does not imply that you do know what it means. See all the research on algebra (e.g., Booth, 1983). Most students have no idea what algebraic symbols mean.

Nice job being misleading with this video. Any quotes from Dewey to support your conclusions? I'm sure you can find some out of context. Those looking to change schools recognize that students are not reasoning and developing a deep understanding. For example, those experiencing the "traditional math" advocated by Hirsch can likely recite formulas for area and circumference of a circle. The problem is that they have no idea what these formulas mean. This is what Dewey discussed.

Just because you remember something does not mean you have no idea what it means. What a strange little sophistry. As for quotes, please also see "John Dewey and the Burden of Ideology" (a video) or Google "25: Phooey on John Dewey" (an article).

BruceDeitrickPrice,
Have you read "Getting it wrong from the beginning" by Kieran Egan? The unholy (and disastrous) marriage between education and psychology?
ManchuDan22 2 years ago
Thanks, I will put it on my list...I do know that the people in Education and the people in Psychology circa 1900 were quite incestuous. Often they were the same people! Great little book on this is "The Leipzig Connection." I have a review on Amazon, saying if you read only one book on education, this is the one.

BruceDeitrickPrice, Superb Video!
ED Hirsch has advocated a return to a Liberal Arts education, where knowledge is valuable for itself, and for no other reason, and this love of thinking, for its own sake, is the basis for critical thinking which is why we are losing it.
A foundation of basic information is the basis for more advanced education. But, you MUST have the foundation 1st, and the foundation is HARD, which is why elementary teachers often fail to get it done.
ManchuDan22 2 years ago
Exactly. Most of my work is aimed at that simple point: "A foundation of basic information is the basis for more advanced education." So obvious you just know that our elite educators will fight it tooth and nail.
