Thursday classes
For Early Modern Philosophy we were talking about modern Monotheism and the quiz question for discussion is do you think atheism is a religion? For Introduction to Philosophy this afternoon the discussion was on pragmatism and the quiz question was how has Dewey's philosophy of education impacted your education? For my evening section of Introduction to Philosophy both halfs of the class were on pragmatism and the quiz question was who do you think is the sexiest philosopher alive? For the second half the quiz question was how has Dewey's philosophy of education impacted your education?

2. Dewy:
I agree with Dewey's conclusion education is best taught through experience and hands on not by force feeding repetition of the four R's in a static classroom environment. For me most of the schools I went to did not adhere to or barely had any recourses for such programs though some teachers did try to provide an active hands on style instruction but were limited due to lack of support for the school district in terms of funds or political support. The only thing they did provide was home-mech, wood & welding shop and typing classes.
