Political Philosophy for Gary Thomas Scott
Candidate for |
|||
|
Philosophy of Education ∑ Education is one of our community's most important responsibilities. ∑ Our community requires a system of first-rate schools that are characterized by a clear set of high expectations that are supported by an active, public accountability for performance. ∑ Broad based education is the prerequisite of all democratic institutions, the motivating force behind economic growth, the preserver of culture, the foundation for rational discourse, the best means to upward social mobility and the guarantor of civilization. ∑ No democracy ever survived, no economy ever prospered and no culture ever advanced without a healthy, vibrant educational system. ∑ We must be willing to support our schools to ensure that all of our students will benefit from the instruction that they receive. We must constantly strive to ensure that our children have access to educational opportunities that nurture the very best in each of them. It is the best way for our community to come closer to the goal of preparing our children to more fully participate in our political democracy, contribute to it's continually changing economy and recognize the unique benefits of our community's diversity for the creation of ideas and culture. |
