PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION IN
10 WORDS OR FEWER
This is hard. That isnt only a confession about how difficult
it was to formulate a Philosophy of education in 10 words
or fewer, but its also, upon reflection, my actual philosophy.
Education is hard. Teaching is hard, and learning is hard.
Almost every year, I need to make that explicit with students: Learning is hard. It takes time; it takes energy; it takes
effort. And, thats not a bad thing. Most of the things we
enjoy in life and find satisfying are actually hard.
