Education Philosophy: There can be nothing more important than to educate a populace, for without reasoned education, all else will fail. It is then imperative that all educators be held to the highest standards of fundamental knowledge, rational thought, logic, and possess the ability to functionally communicate without prejudice any concept to age appropriate levels regardless of cultural differences, gender, or physical and cognitive abilities. All children are capable of learning and it is crucial that core principles are successfully learned and understood in order to have a robust society in which individuals can reach their highest potential.
