"Education and Living" by Randolph Bourne is a collection of writings about reshaping schools into vital spaces for youngsters, pushing for a way of teaching where learning and life are connected, boosting doing over just listening. He takes ideas from John Dewey, highlighting how crucial it is to grow curiosity, imagination, and teamwork in schools. Right away, the author talks about seeing learning as a part of life, not just getting ready for it. He questions old-fashioned schools, seeing them more like prisons than happy learning spots and pushes teachers to switch things up, putting kids' needs first and making places where curiosity blooms. This kicks off a set of pieces that pick apart what's wrong with how things are now, backing a more hands-on, all-around method that uses the messy, amazing stuff of being a kid.
