Since there is no single set of abilities running throughout human nature, there is no single curriculum which all should undergo. Rather, the schools should teach everything that anyone is interested in learning.

David Gurteen's comments: I know today that I could not study for an exam as I simply would not be able to summon the discipline to stick to the curriculum. When I learn, I love to follow where my learning leads me regardless of the curriculum.

Quotations from John Dewey:

John Dewey, (1859 - 1952) American philosopher & educator
The ideal of using the present simply to get ready for the future contradicts itself. It omits, and even shuts out, the very conditions by which a person can be prepared for his future. We always live at the time we live and not at some other time, and only by extracting at each present time the full meaning of each present experience are we prepared for doing the same thing in the future. This is the only preparation which in the long run amounts to anything.
John Dewey, (1859 - 1952) American philosopher & educator
