Dewey asserts that education should be focused on the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, rather than simply the transmission of knowledge. He also emphasizes the importance of experiential learning and the integration of education into everyday life. The book is considered a classic in the field of education, and has had a significant influence on educational theory and practice.It is not true there is no common interest in such an organization between governed and governors.
