\nof these failing educational fads was unique to China. They went back to the
\nteachings of John Dewey, whose “progressive” ideas shaped developments in
\nAmerican schools \ufffd and especially American schools of education, where future
\nteachers were trained. Moreover, Dewey’s ideas were tried out on a large scale
\nin the Soviet Union in the 1920s, before they had achieved similar influence in
\nthe United States. During a visit to the Soviet Union in 1928, Dewey reported
\n“the marvelous development of progressive educational ideas and practice under
\nthe fostering care of the Bolshevik government.” He noted that the Soviets had
\nbroken down the barriers between school and society, which he had urged others
\nto do, and said, “I can only pay my tribute to the liberating effect of active
\nparticipation in social life upon the attitude of the students.” <\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
