Ldomm002 (talk) 02:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC) I agree about the importance of this article. It was intersting to begin thinking about my own personal philosophy of education, and what I think it means to be a teacher. I think most teaching students have been asked to explain their philosophy of education and I am glad we were asked this as well in the beginning of this class. This article was very good at explaining the differences between essentialism, perennialism, progressivism,and existentialism. I think some interesting quiz questions will be made from this article!

This article is very important to all of us who wish to become teachers in the future. Having a basis on which to place and start your way of teaching is essential. In any career choice there are steps to take to becoming good in that field. In teaching having reviewed the different philosophies enables teachers to not only pick the one better suited for them but since all children do not learn the same it gives them the opportunity to put in practice another approach. A teacher having their own philosophy helps them be better structured when it comes to lesson plans, activities and their way of instruction. Bpenn005 (talk) 13:34, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Having a teaching philosophy, in my standpoint, is one of the most important aspects of teaching. Having in mind the diversity of your classroom could lead to a great philosophy one can incorporate. This article enhanced the fact of the importance of such. It noted their differences in a manner in which the reader could chose which one he or she wants to apply in their teaching. I for one chose progressivism because it sort of pushes for that "evolution" theory I have on education. Education most mold itself to the changing ways of the world: Technology.Ehern004 (talk) 22:20, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
