My Own Educational Philosophy

             My own philosophy of education is rather difficult for me to explain. There are
             many parts of our educational system that I disagree with. The problem is that I see far
             too many problems, yet offer few answers. Today's educational systems seem so trendy
             and political. It almost seems like we should not get comfortable with any one way of
             doing things because policies and procedures change so often. My own philosophy is one
             that many people have heard of, "If it's not broken, then don't fix it!". This is simple,
             Upon reading some of the different philosophical views towards education, I
             found many really good ideas. Each philosophy is presented very attractively. And why
             not? The people who set forth these particular ideas were very passionate about what
             they believed in. Unfortunately, we could all debate about the different philosophical
             views of education until we are blue in the face. This still doesn't actually make any one
             opinion, better than any of the others. We all have opinions, what we need is common
             ground between them. Hopefully, that is what my educational philosophy stands for.
             The metaphysics, or nature of reality, of my philosophy starts with the subjects we
             study in school. Subjects should be functional to today's world. Our educational system
             is far more diverse today than it has ever been, and our subject matter should reflect that.
             The reality of the subjects studied in school, should also reflect upon the reality in each
             student's environment. Reality can change, because environments change. Textbooks
             and literature become somewhat obsolete after a while because our culture changes so
             rapidly. That is not to say that classic pieces of literature are not of use in the classroom,
             but each literary product presented in the classroom should hold some information that is
             relatively useful for all of the students.
