Excerpt from Reconstructed Mathematics in the High School: The Adaptation of Instruction to the Needs, Interests, and Capacities of Students
Subject-matter must function throughout the process of learning - The fact, or rather set of facts, at the bottom of the whole matter is the pupil himself, and he is the most stubborn fact of all. Everything must conform to his nature, whatever that may be. You may teach him much or little, but what you really teach will depend entirely upon what he can and will learn. For centuries untold schoolmasters have had their minds centered chiefly upon what they have thought he ought to learn and know, and seldom upon the discovery of principles which would reveal to them what he could and would learn. Now nothing is more deceptive than the appearance of learning which the average youth can present. It is possible to give the simulacrum of learning to almost any curriculum material from the multiplication table to Sanskrit. It is simple enough, that is to say, to cram a youth with learning which will enable him creditably to pass off a recitation or an entrance examination. That depends upon the force and skill of the teacher. But to ground the pupil in learning which will react to the only real test, namely, will it function? Depends as much upon the nature of the pupil's mind and the stage of his development as upon the professional tact and skill of the instructor. Whatever the subject taught or the teaching, if it is to be in any way productive and worth the while, it must not only respond to the function test, but it must have a chance to function all the way through the process of learning. That is, as it seems to the writer, indubitable in the light of all we know of the educative process.
