Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-24 00:00:00 Neslihan K�rfeci This book, The School and Society, written by John Dewey discusses how schools should be incorporated into a part of society. In a highly industrialized society, Dewey argues that what is taught in school should be highly related to their lives and experiences. Therefore, he argues that schools should reach out to teach the everyday concerns and practical parts of the everyday life of the child. His arguments that what's seen at home should be in close proximity to schools was an interesting idea and is highly relevant now and when it was written about a century ago. Reading about his ideas was a huge eye-opener as I was enveloped into the modern education system.
