Educational Philosophy

This was a project that required not only research but soul searching. For me it was hard to distinguish between what can be done, and what in my "perfect" world I think should be done. Education is a very important thing. It controls your whole life. Children are like snowflakes each is unique and each gathers and retains information in a different way. I believe that all deserve to be taught to their potential. First the basis of the knowledge has to be discovered; then it needs to be grown. Curriculum should be formatted to fit the childs culture, language, learning style, etc. I realize that this is difficult and can take time, however I feel that it is a necessity for a child to learn. I also believe that teaching is a life long education where the teacher learns as much as the student. It is an on going process; they need to learn from each other in order for knowledge to continue to grow.
