Reflection 8

Philosophy and philosophy of education are two different things. Philosophy of education is the purpose of a study. Meaning if a professor is teaching a project, that teacher must have a purpose for this subject. Just like education in school is separated in distinct categories, like math, science, reading, art, music, English etc… The philosophy of education is operated in five categories. Philosophy believes that it is best to identify the best and bring test like Aristotle, Plato, Shakespeare, etc… Hutching believes that a curriculum should and most consist of reading, writing, mathematics and literature and that these subjects should mastered before any other subject. . An education is information given to children. The educational must have open house. It must move forward not backward. Also it should have it on purpose.

We are not the society and the society is not us. In making this statement, due to the economic downfall, the school distinct budget is down and they have more students. The teachers will not be able to focus on a classroom of 30 or more students. Meaning a teacher might have a class of thirty students in it and a period of six different classes. So in total, this teacher will see one hundred and eighty students a day. Everyone has his or her own personality and that is one thing that makes every student unique. It will be foolish to focus on one particular student only on a class of thirty kids; because a teacher spends at least ninety minutes a day for approximately two or three days a week if they are in high school. How can a teacher know each individual in eight months?

Therefore, I believe that if all the students are being thought the basics of education which are reading, writing, and computer and also are taking physical education, it will enhance the student’s knowledge. Children that educated touched their own lives and others around them. Education gives the student a fundamental base for as long as he or she lives. A person without a good education will not be able to feed and clothe themselves and aloes their family. If someone is educated, it will benefit the society that person is living in; because the decision making will affect us. Today there are four basic educational philosophies. They are all different but have the same purpose. Therefore the teacher should be the one who organized his or her schooling.
