My Philosophy of Education :: Philosophy on Education Statement Teaching Essays

Philosophy on Education In the beginning there were students. the students learned what they were to do and what not to do. It continued on and on and still to this day we have students who are told what to do and not to do. They are told how to act, how to make decisions on their ingest, and how to make something of themselves. The student is taught that they need to learn so that they know more and to survive in todays society because most everyone today needs a good education. The student is taught in ways they will learn. They should to a fault have a curriculum to follow to become the individual they were born to be to make up their own minds and not to be persuaded to have the uniform ideas and thoughts as someone else. A student is one who learns. But how does the student learn? A student is a person who has their own mind their own thoughts they are an individual. A student explores their mind finding out what they want in life. They do so by experiencing th ings like the Pragmatist and Progressivist say. The student is as well quondam(prenominal) influenced by a leader they follow their parents morals and standards when they are young and then some follow their friends attitudes, feelings, or even actions as discussed by Rousseau in Emile. Ones friends can cause the student to do things or act ways their parents could or could not have taught them to do or act. Some students on the another(prenominal) hand learn to be the leader. The ones who lead their friends end up doing what they want and the friends follow. The followers learn from experience most likely taught by their parents. A precedent of this is Say one little girl is taught to play basketball then she thinks it would e a very good thing to show her friends to play also letting them feel the experience and allowing her friends to choose if they like it as much as she does. The little girl then has allowed her friends to decide if they will keep play or quit beca use they dont like it. The followers will choose what they think is best for them.
