- - - - “In the field of natural knowledge, the student must ultimately make up his own mind in the light of natural reason, but until he is able to do that finally he should try to get all the help he can from those who offer to teach him.” (Adler, 1989, p.24)
        “Docility is needed, therefore, to dispose him to seek and to use such help wisely and well.” (Adler, 1989, p.24)
      - “It would be a mistake for those of us who are teachers to suppose that the problem of achieving docility is a problem only for our students.” (Adler, 1989, p.26)
    - - Adler was not using the dictionary definition. Meaning you are easy to handle or use. Adler's definition is basically saying be willing to learn but do not do so blindly.

      - “Examinations are of use only so far as they test the child's fitness for social life and reveal the place in which he can be of most service and where he can receive the most help.” (Dewey 1897, p5)
