"I believe that the teacher's place and work in the school is to be interpreted from this
same basis. The teacher is not in the school to impose certain ideas or to form certain
habits in the child, but is there as a member of the community to select the influences
which shall affect the child and to assist him in properly responding to these influences."
-John Dewey
