Teaching Philosophy As children we were always told by our parents to go to school. We were told to go to school and stay in school as long as we possibly can because without an education we have nothing. However with an education or any kind of degree, whether it be in political sciences or in education itself, you can manage to one day, rule the world. And I strongly believe in that. This is the reason I intend to become an educator, so that I can pass on my knowledge and understanding of the…

People of all different ages know at least a few Shakespeare references, such as the famous quote “to be, or not to be”. Teaching Shakespeare in high schools has become an American cliché.
