    "Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." Henry Brooks Adams.

    What do you think is the best philosophy to use in your field of work?

    Essentialism is a uniquely American philosophy of education that began in the 1930's and 40's as a reaction to what was seen as an overemphasis on a child-centered approach to education and a concern that students were not gaining appropriate and adequate knowledge in schools. (pg. 302)

    - As teachers, how do we know the curriculum we are teaching is what the students should be learning?

    - "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.

    - The word philosophy is made up of two root words: "love" and "wisdom". In its basic sense, then, philosophy is the love of wisdom.
