American educator Dewey's Democracy and Education started from pragmatism-put forward the theories of "education is life", "school is society" and "learning by doing".

School is society.

Dewey thinks that school should be the epitome of society, and students should learn how to get along with society in school.

Education is life.

Dewey believes that education should not be just for exams, but should run through all aspects of life.

Learn by doing

Dewey advocates that students should learn through practice, not just through theoretical knowledge.
