    Hitler borrowed the stache on the condition that it would just be for the weekend. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in a bulbous haze of fire when Hitler refused to extinguish his cigarette while gassing up a lawn mower which belonged to his brother-in-law. Needless to say, both Dewey and Hitler's brother-in-law got screwed on that gamble.

  • Really disagree about the part where he says there are some things that should be left out ot the ciriculum. You can say what you want to counter that but it's a rather ambiguous statement nonetheless. I just do not like where that is headed.

  • Nice to see Dewey (1859 – 1952) agree that the internet is a useful research tool. I also enjoyed seeing the map of present-day Romania and Ukraine on the wall, within borders established after 1990s. Dewey truly lives on.

  • This is such an attenuated view of John Dewey, I don't know where to begin. You have John Dewey sounding like Bill Bennet for crissakes. Dewey disliked seeing children reading alone, he believed the learning experience had to be socialized and that real learning doesn't take place when a child studies on her own. He stood vehemently against the use of phonics in the classroom and favored 'whole word'. He once said that learning a vocabulary is not all that important. He admired Karl Marx.

  • If he died in 1952 how the hell did he know about the internet?? Let's get real, people! These are NOT at all the words of Dewey. Unfortunately all the principles he seemed to have believed went against him when he criticized Maria Montessori. She was the real truthful educator. Not Dewey!

  • Funny to look at yet interesting to listen to a decent understanding of Dewey's views.

    But where is his mustache?
