The Child and the Curriculum

by John Dewey

Published 1 February 1956
This edition brings Dewey's educational theory into sharp focus, framing his two classic works by frank assessments, past and present, of the practical applications of Dewey's ideas. In addition to a substantial introduction in which Philip W. Jackson explains why more of Dewey's ideas haven't been put into practice, this edition restores a lost chapter, dropped from the book by Dewey in 1915.
