Education Philosophy |
People learn by doing. People choose to learn. People choose to learn when the material is relevant to their lives. Discipline is about guidance, not rewards, punishment, or coercion. Learning how to live healthily in the society of other humans is just as important as any academic curriculum. A classroom is a community. People learn best in loving, supportive, invested, invigorated communities.
