Book Review #3- Experience and Education

I had a big problem finding a book that went against what I am trying to argue. Nearly everything I found was arguing the same thing that I am, that integrating alternative components of education is beneficial to the student. I was able to find some sources that analyzed both traditional and nontraditional means of education, and highlighted the pros and cons of both. I am currently waiting for the book that I found to come from Rutgers Camden.



In Experience and Education, John Dewey focuses on the shortcomings of both alternative and traditional types of education. His insights are useful to me in my analysis of the benefits of alternative universities such as Naropa, as I can analyze his reasons for the insufficiency of alternative medicine by measuring them against the truths about traditional school.
