    A great book for proposing social engineering in education but otherwise nothing new except mis-application of the scientific method to non-science areas. His concept of education is socialization. If there is something great is his theories it is well hidden and not supported by scientific or non scientific studies..

    I found most of this book useful, things I learned in my education classes came up frequently. I think that this book was a bit outdated, although it did have some very relevant information. I found it a bit hard to read because of the language. The content at times was boring. On the whole, I think that this book was a good historical account on what educationally philosophy was in it’s time.

    I am a college student majoring in education and I read Democracy and Education for a class. I found this book to be very incitful. I find it hard to believe that John Dewey one of the most important philosophers recognized problems at the beginning of the century and we still have them today. One of Deweys ideas state that we learn by doing, this is still not a norm in todays curriculum. I thought this book was excellent but in parts found it difficult to either read or understand.

    This book is one of the great milestones of American history and philosophy and particularly education. It’s as relevant today as the day it was written a century ago.
