a. that they should go out into the real world at an earlier age
b. that their education should go beyond memorizing basic facts
c. that girls and boys should be taught the same subjects
d. that they should only study creative subjects like art and music

Explanation:

John Dewey emphasized progressive education. Creative thinking goes beyond rote - memorization (memorizing basic facts). Option A is about early entry into the real world which is not directly related to creative thinking. Option C is about gender - neutral subject teaching, not about creative thinking. Option D limits learning to only creative subjects which is not in line with a comprehensive view of creative thinking that can be applied across various disciplines.

Answer:

B. that their education should go beyond memorizing basic facts
