Chapter Four

After reading chapter four I found it interesting how many different theories/philosophies of education there really are. Some of them I find a little "out there" and others I think are acceptable. At the end of the chapter the reader is asked to identify their own philosophy of education. After re-reading the chapter I cannot say that I fit into any of these theories/philosophies perfectly. However, "Most educators are eclectic and sample a variety of ideas, propositions, principles, or axioms that represent a smorgasbord of views. p. 93" I guess if I had to pick one theory I guess I would fall into Progressivism.
