Wisdom teaches what is right in matters
of life and conduct. It guides and supports
us better than all other possessions.
Hans Sennholz
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Human beings are somewhat unique in that they have the ability, responsibility, and even necessity, to use reason on almost a continual basis. Society acts wisely when it fosters the cultivation of reason in its members. Formal education is a conscious, organized effort to impart in individuals the qualities and characteristics that will enhance and encourage the use of reason.
In today’s setting of “information overload,” the role of the instructor is to teach what he believes to be truth, and the role of the student is to strive to learn that material. The student has no obligation to necessarily accept as “truth” all that is taught as “truth,” but to the extent the teacher has prepared himself as an expert in his field, the student would do well to appreciate the wisdom of the teacher and consider his instruction as a likely candidate for being true.
