During an interview with public university faculty, I was asked, “What is your philosophy of education?” I smiled and said, “My philosophy of education is based on one word: Ownership. I have always wanted my students to own their beliefs for themselves.” My colleagues had not heard that response before. It seems that instead of students getting to own their beliefs, teens are getting owned by someone else’s beliefs. You can read the essay for yourself with a link at the end of this Truth in Two. Go search it out for yourself.” When students own their beliefs, they will be more responsible for their beliefs and practice their beliefs better.
