| Summary | "The School and Society" by John Dewey is a collection of educational lectures written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the nature of education and its connection to social progress, emphasizing the role of schools in nurturing not just individual growth but also the collective development of society. Dewey advocates for an educational paradigm that integrates manual training and practical skills, viewing the school as a vital part of community life. The opening of the work sets the stage for Dewey's exploration of the relationship between education and society. He argues that traditional educational approaches focus too heavily on individualistic progress without considering the broader social context. Dewey illustrates how schools must evolve to reflect and support the dynamic needs of society, advocating for a curriculum that includes practical endeavors and manual training to enhance the child's experience. This shift is presented as essential for developing responsible citizens who contribute positively to their communities, indicating Dewey's vision of education as a collaborative and community-oriented process rather than a mere accumulation of information.
