I want them to enjoy and flourish in my classroom. I believe that in order to do this teachers need to step back from the teaching norms and involve their students more in decisions. If we truly want children to enjoy school we must center our lessons on activities that they will have fun with and relate to. I want my students to leave my grade with new knowledge of course. Above that, however, I want them to leave with a desire to learn every day and be prepared to learn on their own. I also want them to see every experience as a new opportunity to learn. I plan to use a mixture of all of the philosophies discussed, but I value piece of the progressivist and constructivist ideas
