It's a pub, you can do pretty much what you like as long as Craig doesn't decide to throw you out... :D

Philosophies in Education

There are at least four main philos in Education: Idealism (proponents such as Plato, Butler, Emerson and Froebel) wherein values are absolute and eternal.

Realism (Aristotle, Aquinas and Pestalozzi) that also says that values are absolute and eternal --- based on nature's laws

Pragmatism (Dewey, Pierce, Childs and James) which says that values are situational and relative

and

Existentialism (Sartre, Marcel, Morris and Soderquist) that says that values should be freely chosen.

@fable: Glad you dropped by and give your valued input. :)

EDIT--- sorry for the delay... the server here is going zonkers. :mad:

I feel the same way. ;) I'm pretty fair. Allergies wrecking havoc with my eyes, but that's par for the course at this point, in this clime. :D

What sort of neighbors do you have, @CE?

Well this is weird, only just noticed this post. :eek:

@ Fable, I'm alright, getting educated by Georgi on music at the moment. :eek: And my holidays are finally finished, one month was just too long. I need order and a timetable to base my social life around. :rolleyes:

*Notices Dottie*

Yes, thanks. Yourself? :)

My wife and I took to the roads last night to scout out a new restaurant. Our luck must have been in; we hit the only rainstorm to attack this area in about a year (5 inches in a few hours), and arrived 15 minutes too late. The doors were locked. :D So we went down the road to a seafood restaurant we've both enjoyed for the last couple of years. They have non-fish (and fish) specials; my wife had the (get this) pheasant in apricot and nectarine sauce, with vanilla rice (yes, they use vanilla on the rice). I had the rainbow trout in a bed of spinach. Yum. I never used to like fish, but then, my mother's idea of serving fish was to get a packet of frozen salmon croqettes, and overcook them until they were the consistency of hockey pucks. Real seafood is great. :)

Shame on you, Fable, picking on Eminem in a thread you know he won't venture into... :rolleyes: :D

During the World Cup, there was an item on a sports show about players being penalised for acting to get free kicks. The announcer added "The cast of Neighbours should be OK - noone's ever likely to be accused of acting on that show" :cool:

Nope. He'd agree with me. ;)

@Mahar: When it comes to education, I think I'm closest to a realist - which I suppose also fits the notion of realism as an ethical stance as well?

ROFLMAO :D

Re my neightbours, I don't like them because they spend a lot of time and energy engaging in and complaining about what I think is very petty things. On the mandadory house meetings, people wish to spend hours discussing that we all should have identical name plates...last time they wanted an official "list" of behavioural rules everybody in the house should follow...I don't know why - nobody is even breaking the rules they suggested we should include...when I pointed this out, the reply was "well, it's always good to have a list so we all know" :confused:

@Ysh: Hello :) I'm fine.

Heh, absolutely not - it is my slow recovery from having been on holiday that makes me understimulated! Every time I take a longer break than 1 week from my job, my brain is like chewing gum when I return.

@Dottie: Ysh is not only a very cool parent, she is also a generally very cool person :D
