	John Dewey...Eduhistory.com
		Dewey was essentially the seminal thinker of educational progressivism and an important progressive in general.
		Progressive education (both as espoused by Dewey, and in the more popular and inept forms of which Dewey was critical) was essentially scrapped during the Cold War, when the dominant concern in education was creating and sustaining a scientific and technological elite for military purposes.
		It is often thought that progressive education "failed"; whether this view is justified depends on one's definitions of "progressive" and "failed"; several versions of progressive educations succeeded in transforming the educational landscape; the utter ubiquity of guidance counseling, to name but one example, is owing to the progressive period.

		Educational liberalism is a sure means for preserving the social status quo, whereas the best practices of educational conservatism are the only means whereby children from disadvantaged homes can secure the knowledge and skills that will enable them to improve their condition.
		Parents presented with such choices for their children’s education would be unlikely to prefer traditional, merely verbal, premature, fragmented, boring, and lockstep instruction to instruction that is modern, hands-on, developmentally appropriate, integrated, interesting, and individualized.

		It is all the more curious, then — it is in fact a puzzle begging for solution — that in the elite circles of higher education where the progressivist tradition still burns bright, the public drubbing their doctrine has endured for nearly two decades now has induced little more than the occasional flinch.
		And though some of those schools are public — there is no shortage of funders or educators interested in trying Gardner’s ideas — there can be no doubt that it is the private school world, today as in 1983, that is clamoring for multiple-intelligence products, paying for Gardneriana, and conforming their classrooms to his dicta.

		We've heard a great deal about the baneful influence of progressivism on educational outcomes, but all the studies of classrooms continue to show the vast prevalence of traditional teaching techniques - teachers talk, kids sit and listen or write notes or do seat work.
		Educators invoke the "whole child" argument as a way to keep from engaging in an educational practice that they find unacceptable.
		Having dealt with this argument again and again, I am convinced that, no matter how misdirected the argument may be, educators usually are committed to it out of an earnest regard for students' well-being.
