"A lot of teachers nowadays have given up on kids. They do not demand much of them. If we do not push kids now to get knowledge and skills they are going to need later in life, we have failed them. My main purpose here is to see that my kids get the basics they are going to need" Mr. Chen

Question: What knowledge is of most worth? Quote: “….beliefs about teaching and learning, students, the nature of knowledge and what knowledge is worth knowing, then, are the foundation of your educational philosophy.” Fact: Students can’t be expelled or suspended without due process.
What is your definition of "knowledge" then? What is "education?" Look at Kant's "An answer to the question: What is enlightenment?" You may find that article interesting.
Due process is important in schools.
Good points here!
Class,
Schools and teachers are not ethical always, but you are leaders whether or not you want to be as teachers. You should be ethical, and you should have your philosophy of education too. You should know what you do and why you do it as a teacher--that is the basis of your philosophy.
Katherine Hecker Quote: "The classics are unequaled in terms of the insights they can give students into the major problems they will confront during their lifetimes.
Fact: The progressive philosophy also contends that knowledge that is true in the present may not be true in the future.
Question: Do school districts pick each grades cirriculum, or does the teacher have a say in it?
Chapter 3 In this chapter I would like to address Robertas situation from the opening scenario--Hooray for Roberta!! She has given these students a REASON to WANT to write. Where will the world end up if we do not help our students not only voice theri opinions but to channel them in the appropriate manner.
Why do "teach the basics" and "teaching children to use the material they learn" have to be two different things?
Though our civilization has made impressive technological advances during the last two centuries, we have not really progressed that much in terms of improving the quality of our lives as human beings.
Chapter 4 It is terribly sad that our society has become so "blame someone else" and "sue someone" happy. I remember when the student would be chastized by the parent if they had gotten burned while lighting a burner...why were you messing with that...you know better than to mess with that while the teacher is not in the room...what were you thinking? These are just a few of the comments I would have heard from my dad had I pulled a stunt like that. I was held responsible for my own actions!
Does this chapter make anyone think perhaps teaching is not the same--teacher in charge--environment that it was 20 years ago? HOW SAD! We have taken the authority away from the teacher and given it to the general public!
In todays litigious society, educators must have a solid understanding of the laws that affect them and their institutions. Every day educators make decisions, many of which may have significant legal implications.

Chapter 4 Question:What are the legal rights of students and parents? Quote:"any theory which denies the story of the Diving Creation of man as taught in the Bible,and to teach instead that man is descended from a lower order of animals." Scopes Fact: A 1925 biology teacher, John Scopes, challenged a Tennessee law that made it illegal to teach biblical accounts in a public school.
Chapter 3 Question:What are the branches of Philosophy? Quote:"We educate and are educated for some purpose we consider good. We teah what we think is a valuable set of good ideas. How else could we construct education?" Jack L. Nelson Fact: Educational philosophy consists of what you believe about education-the set of principles that guides your professional action.
Chapter 4 Question:Why do you need a professional code for ethics? Quote:"In today's litigious societym educators must have a solid understanding of the laws that affect them and their institutions. Every day educators make decisions, many of which may have significant legal implications." -Susan D. Looney Fact: Legal advice for teachers, page 114: Read teacher's handbook.

F: There are six areas of philosophy that are central concern to teachers—metaphysics, epistemology, axiology, ethics, aesthetics, and logic. Q: Why are the six areas of the philosophy needed? Chapter 4 Q: Why do you need a professional code of ethics? F: Tenure is a policy that provides the individual teacher with job security by (1) preventing his or her dismissal on insufficient grounds and (2) providing him or her with due process in the event of dismissal. Q: Do student teachers have the same legal status as certified teachers?
Chapter 3 Why do you need to understand educational philosophy? Existential philosophy is unique that it focuses on the experiences of the individual. "We have to know about our lives, clarify our situations if we are to understand the world from our shared standpoints." Chapter 4 What are the legal rights of students and parents? Courts have ruled that school officials can be held responsible if they fail to take steps to protect gay and lesbian students from antigay harassment. Justice Hugo L. Black observed that he did not believe,"the federal constitution imposed on the United States Courts the burden of supervising the length of hair that public school students should wear"
Ch. 3 Question: What are the most important beliefs about teaching and learning? Fact: A third grade teacher might be most concerned with developing the whole child. This teacher wants students to become self-actualizing. Quote: "She doesn't let you get by with a thing; she never slacks off on the pressure. She lets you know that she's there to teach and you're there to learn."
Ch. 4 Question: What are some of the ethical dilemmas a teacher can encounter in the classroom? Quote: "Although public educators do not shed their constitutional rights as a condition of public employment, under certain circumstances restrictions on these freedoms are justified by overriding governmental interests." Fact: Teachers are, of course, responsible for meeting the terms of their teaching contracts.
