Philosophy of Education
School should be challenging, without being hard. A sense of pride is felt after completing a challenging task whereas a sense of survival is felt after making it through something that is hard. A child's education should be challenging and rewarding, not hard. I believe all students are capable of learning and it is our duty as educators to ensure learning occurs for all students in an environment that is challenging, rewarding, and intrinsically motivating.
