    Assignment: Chpt. 9; Due: Monday, March 1, 2010

    1. What is teaching, philosophically speaking? Philosophy is like art, no limits, rules, or boundaries. Philosophy IS. ISN’T it? Who’s teaching who? Is not philosophy the idea of self-educated intellects? Can it be deduced, then, given the basic definition for the word “philosophy” is the “love of wisdom”, that those who are not philosophical are indeed ignorant?! (Txtbk. Chpt. 9)

    2a. “One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.” -Carl Sagan, 20th Century Astronomer (Txtbk. p. 300, Chpt. 9)

    2b. “The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.” -Robert Maynard Hutchins, Educational Practioner and Theorist (Txtbk. p. 301, Chpt. 9)

    3. The word philosophy is made up of two (2) root words: “love” (philo) and “wisdom” (sophos). In its most basic sense, then, philosophy is the love of wisdom. (Txtbk. p. 289, Chpt. 9)

    Question:

    Will I change philosophies during my teaching career?

    Fact:

    Most teachers have a multi-philosophical type of teaching and each is different from the next.

    Quote:

    The ability to think straight, some knowledge of the past,some vision of the future, some skill to do useful service, some urge to fit thatservice into the well-being of the community - these are the most vital things education must try to produce.

    -"The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the goal of true education."- Martin Luther King Jr. pg 293

    -The word philosophy is made up of two root words: "love" (philo) and "wisdom" (sophos). In its most basic sense,then, philosophy is the love of wisdom.-pg 289.

    -Do teachers not always approach the way they teach philosophy the same due to their personal beliefs?

    Quote:"Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life."-Sandra Carey

    Question: Should a school lay out what is to be learned, or should students have the larger say in what and how they learn?

    Fact:Schools such as Summerhill in Suffolk, England, and Sudbury Valley School in Framingham, Massachusetts, emboby many of the beliefs of the romantics. These schools, there is no set curricula, no formal classes, and no test. Students decide what they want to study and, in some cases, are expected to take responsibility for their learning.
    It is a interesting thought and I wonder how the students from these schools do in life?

    Question:do you agree with the Essentialists who state it is important that students experience it first hand... like field trips?

    Quote:"The word philosophy is made up of two words: "love"(philo)and "wisdom" (sophos). In its most basic sense,then,philosophy is the love of wisdom."p.289

    Fact: teachers must identify there own philosophical learnings to become an excellent teacher.
