Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Both statements are true, that progressive teaching holds education to be life itself and that the reconstructionist view seeks a genuinely democratic new social order.

A basic principle of the progressive view is that education should be life itself, not a mere preparation for later living.

This progressive stance is closely tied to John Dewey, who saw the school as a form of living.

The reconstructionist view holds that the new social order it aims to build must be genuinely democratic.

Reconstructionism, associated with Theodore Brameld, treats education as a means to reform and rebuild society.

The claim that either statement is false does not hold, since each is an accurate account of its school of thought.
