Jiang, Meng and Zhao observe that by putting emphasis on education as life and growth rather than as the preparation for life, Dewey did not dispute the importance of preparation. Rather, he meant that only through meaningful activities in the process of education can one be prepared for life, in the real sense of the word. Despite these positive interpretations, Dewey's theory on educational goals still receives strong political criticism from some Chinese scholars, who charge that Dewey's real educational purpose is to serve the interests and needs of the bourgeoisie and monopoly capitalists in the United States.
