| Summary | "The School and Society" by John Dewey is a philosophical work on education written in the late 19th century. The text explores the interplay between educational institutions and social advancement, arguing for a more integrated and progressive educational experience that mirrors societal needs. Dewey emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of schools in fostering both individual development and collective growth within the community. The opening of the work delves into the traditional view of education as an isolated endeavor focused solely on individual learning, where progress is measured in terms of personal achievements like reading and writing. Dewey contends that this perspective must be expanded to include the broader social context. Instead of viewing schools merely as sources of knowledge for individual children, he encourages readers to consider how educational practices should adapt to societal changes, particularly in response to industrial advancements and the need for practical skills. He sets the stage for a "new education" that actively engages children with their environment and helps prepare them as contributing members of a democratic society.
