Educational reformers have advocated the need for 'hands-on' experiential learning
Schools should not be, "so set apart, so isolated from ordinary conditions and motives of life... it is the one place in the world where it is most difficult to get experience - the mother of all disciplines."
- John Dewey (education reformer)
Japanese education reformer Tsunesaburo Makiguchi asserted that, through his version of a half-day school system it would increase the chances for students to interact directly with nature. He believed this would develop virtues such as compassion and a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all living things.
