Education is not only learned by books but through interaction and experiences
of the people.

He said that students learn where they feel physically and emotionally safe. And
each student has access to personalized learning and is supported by qualified
and caring adults. Where the words physically and emotionally safe means no
competition because competition is against an emotionally safe environment.

conducting an experiment, but some students who can connect knowledge of the
past to the present.

are called to make decision on controversial issues. Just like Dewey, Counts also
believes that problem solving should be the dominant method of instruction.
