Education is not a preparation for life but life itself

"I believe that education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living."

My Pedagogic Creed by John Dewey
School Journal vol. 54 (January 1897), pp. 77-80
ARTICLE TWO. WHAT THE SCHOOL IS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's the closest I can come to an actual quote by Dewey, though many many places you'll see, "Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself."

If you know the source of the second quote, please comment and share.
