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.
