Philosophies surrounding education today are highly deliberated amongst education professionals. The visionary philosophical articles examined entitled, The Core Knowledge Curriculum-What 's Behind Its Success?, by Hirsch, Education for Freedom, by Hutchins, Dare the School Build a New Social Order?, by Counts, and “My Pedagogic Creed”, by Dewey, broadened my knowledge of the copious disparate philosophies that configure our educational systems in modern society.
