Voices of Educational Pioneers

I don't think that there was one philosopher that I did not find something to agree on. I'd say that my philosophy draws from each one in some way. One educator that I almost completely agreed with is Sappho. She believes in education of the whole student, including physical development. Teachers should be mentors and encourage students to develop and mature socially, mentally, and emotionally. I feel like this is most like my own view of what education should be. If Sappho was a teacher today, I think she would create real-life examples for her student and meet the multiple intelligences with her engaging lessons. She is a good example of a caring educator.
