This one is a broad overview of the ideas I want to include in my book with some details, it is sort of me just spitting my thoughts and having Ryan take notes and give me some feedback.
I want to warn you guys though, I think I dropped the F-bomb in there somewhere, I was getting worked up and just want to apologize ahead of time. I'm working on watching that when I am blogging.
Also, if you guys have feedback for me, think I missed something or should add something, please feel free to comment publicly or privately.

Some John Dewey Quotes:
“The only freedom that is of enduring importance is the freedom of intelligence, that is to say, freedom of observation and of judgment, exercised in behalf of purposes that are intrinsically worth while. The commonest mistake made about freedom is, I think, to identify it with freedom of movement, or, with the external or physical side of activity.”
“Man is not logical and his intellectual history is a record of mental reserves and compromises. He hangs on to what he can in his old beliefs even when he is compelled to surrender their logical basis.”
“Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.”
“The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education ... (and) the object and reward of learning is continued capacity for growth. Now this idea cannot be applied to all the members of a society except where intercourse of man with man is mutual, and except where there is adequate provision for the reconstruction of social habits and institutions by means of wide stimulation arising from equitably distributed interests. And this means a democratic society.”
