Martin Luther 16th century
Luther believed that children needed to be taught the lessons from God and it was the parent’s duty to make sure children got education. Parents needed to teach children to be obedient to those in authority. Luther’s school were made for boys and girls and the wealthy and the poor, so children can be taught to become better members of society to benefit the church and the community.
Martin Luther and other reformers are responsible for the setting up an educational system that was built on objectives, curriculum, and public schools.
Luther’s idea of including all genders and children from all financial backgrounds is an important role of schools. As well as Luther’s advocacy for parents to keep children in school because he believed it would benefit social and the individuals.

John Amos Comenius 17th century
John believed in engaging children in nature and would talk and teach in the children’s home language. Comenius didn’t thing punishment was a necessary way to control and teach children.
Children are taken on field trips to parks and learn about the earth and it’s different environments. There is a lot children can learn from the earth, so schools incorporate these ideas into their curriculum.
I want to make sure children feel that their diversity is embraced and used as a way to connect with each child their family and culture.

John Locke 17th century
Didn’t view children as sinful natured instead as blank slates to be filled with information.
Environment played a big role in the child education more filling with info instead of children having active experiences to learn from. Schools

    However Martin Luther was steadfast in his beliefs and appeared to be quite brave in the face of the very powerful and oppressive Roman Catholic Church. He was quite educated, and though he was very critical and confrontation in his written and spoken words, he was nonetheless peaceful in his actions. His words and works brought about significant change. Depending on religious points of view, some may agree and others disagree with Martin Luther and his specific teachings. However, one thing that few if any would disagree with is that Martin Luther changed the world he lived in for what he believed to be the better. He stood up for his belief system and tirelessly worked toward a goal of change and reform. He had the courage to stand in the face of an empire – one in which he was a part of and put down his foot and say “this isn’t right” and then go on to make things different. In the end that is exactly what being a leader is all…

    John Dewey (1859-1952) believed that learning was active and schooling unnecessarily long and restrictive. His idea was that children came to school to do things and live in a community which gave them real, guided experiences which fostered their capacity to contribute to society.

    I enrolled in this class, Lasallian Philosophy on Education I had no idea who St. La Salle was. Reading about him amazes me, his involvement in education was almost by accident, without ever consciously setting out to do so. He lived in a time when society was characterized by great disparity between the rich and the poor. Jean Baptiste de la Salle believed that education gave hope and opportunity for people to lead better lives of dignity and freedom. St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle came from a rich family, highly educated yet when he saw the plight of the poor he was greatly moved into the calling God vested upon him.…

    In a world where kids are getting infected by the virus that is the dependency on technology at a younger and younger age the incorporation of nature into the public school curriculum is undoubtedly needed. The experience of having nature be greatly involved in my education since a young age has made me aware of all the benefits that this brings to the academic skills of children.As a young child from the ages of 0-8 I lived in a very rural part of Mexico where nature formed a huge part of our daily life and education.I may have not had the mental maturity to analyze the benefits that this would cause during that period in my life but now that I look back on it I realize that the experiences I had as a child have shaped who I am and my relationship with nature as well as enhanced certain academic skills.…
