As John Dewey once stated “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself”, his perspective of education also emphasizes on the collaboration among learners to an end of academic achievement, just like how importance for people to interact with others if they are to succeed. Reading the excerpt from Democracy and Education (Dewey, 1916), we can be certain that the idea of the group in learning is, to Dewey, of crucial significance. Every single person has a different original environment from which he was born, raised, grew up, and thus is so rooted to it that escaping from the limitations of this social group is not a simple task. Yet Dewey believes the group in learning could give a mean for people to conquer the challenge and “come into living contact with a broader environment” since they not only perform their own action but also have to perceive that of others as reference and react to it. This whole process offers opportunities to break down “those barriers of class, race, and national territory which kept men from perceiving the full import of their activity”.
It demonstrates the effect that discipline and parenting styles can have on a child. Social Learning Theory recognises children as being more engaged in their leaning and stresses the importance of role models, stating that children can learn by simply observing others. Constructivism somewhat downplays the role of social experiences in favour of biological influences and suggests that children are independent agents of their own learning, not overly influenced by parents and teachers. Finally, Social Constructivism argues that the key to learning and development lies in the social interaction with peer groups, rather than merely observing others. Behaviourists believe that the environment in which a

Since they let their responsibility go, the house replaced the parents which made the children feel that the house is their parents. Also, with the amount of technology they have, they rely on technology too much which became other human contact. With that being said, technology doing everything for you is not great but to an extent it is fine. In the short story, “The Veldt”, the house takes responsibility for the family and the children feel that the house is their parents. The children rely on their technology that is available for them instead of their parents.
These authors believe different factors affect the performance of a student, but also agrees on the toll it takes on their whole life. In "the secret to raising smart kids", Dweck explains his theory of how being raised with a certain mindset, effects hoe people perform not only in class, but in life as well. Lines (24-26) explains how being raised with a "fixed" mindset will carry with a person throughout their life. This mindset causes people to believe they only know what they were born knowing and there's no reason to try to learn or attempt anything else (115-117). There is, however, another mindset called "growth".
Children from poor families were expected to earn a living as soon as possible and children from noble families were schooled. Philosophers such as John Locke (1632-1704) believed that children were not born with any predisposition but came into the world as a blank slate (“tabula rasa”) and would develop if guided and trained through repetition. He felt that the role of the adult was highly significant

Adapting to the schoolwork is a big part of having confidence in the classroom because you understand what is being taught. Gatto said “schools are establish fixed habits of relation to authority. This of course, precludes critical judgement completely.”(152). Gatto is saying that schooling is made for kids to adapt to; it has adaptive qualities, therefore there is a chance for everyone to succeed if they really want to, but it takes away from any individual thinking.

He was born in 1859 and died in 1952. He graduated from the University of Vermont in 1879. Dewey received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in philosophy and his dissertation "The Psychology of Kant," was completed in 1884. He taught at a number of universities, including the University of Chicago and Columbia. Dewey has made the most significant contribution to the development
Murphy opens up his essay by describing a debate economist Larry Summers and Amy Chua encountered while discussing Chua’s parenting methods in response to Ms. Chua’s essay. Murphy first expresses that children are not just adults in training but are also people with joys and powers. Murphy feels a happy childhood is measured by the qualities of adult accomplishment, but also believes the pleasure of gifts given to children is just as important and more. Murphy describes the gift of moral innocence, that children are free from the knowledge of human evil. They are able to trust people fully
