ABSTRACT
The assumptions behind the last chapter is that schools should prepare young people for membership in a world confronting significant challenges and possibilities, challenges both new and perennial. As Dewey cautioned educators, however, schools should not be about preparing to live, but about living (Dewey, 1916). By that he meant learning by living and living by learning—engaging in age appropriate ways what it means to live in today’s world in order to continue to live in tomorrow’s world.
