Philosophy of Education
Philosophy of Education
Public education is a joint responsibility of the profession, the public, and their representatives. We realize that the Board of Education, Administrators, and Classroom Teachers have a common goal; the best possible education for the students that attend Newtown-Harris R-III Elementary and Secondary School.
We must recognize that the American Public School System is peculiarly our own; that is was developed to fit our needs. We believe that is must be a flexible system, adaptable to the needs of various localities and able to meet challenging conditions. We must recognize that education is not static; that we must keep abreast of changing times, constantly recognizing new needs, constantly seeking new methods of achieving our goals, yet not rushing blindly out on untried pathways.
