The Life of a Philosopher: John Amos Comenius (Jan Amos Komensky)

This United States Supreme Court case looked into whether-or-not the Cruel and Unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment applies to corporal punishment in public schools. Additionally, the case explored the due process clause of the 14th Amendment in terms of prior notice before the punishment is delivered.

Chapter two discusses various theorists that helped to mold and shape early childhood education to where it is today. There are several different theorists that contributed to the development of early childhood education. Some of these theorists include Alfred Adler, Jean Piaget, Lev Vygotsky, and John Dewey. Each theorist developed a unique theory that has caused early childhood guidance and education to flourish like it has today. Without learning and building on these theories, early childhood guidance and education would never develop or change. The chapter explains how some theories may seem strange to the contemporary families, but these theories are the foundation of how early childhood education got to where it is today. The book goes

“Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852), the great German educator, is famous pre-eminently for his radical insight that the first learning experiences of the very young are of crucial importance in influencing not only their later educational achievements but also the health and development of society as a whole” (Weston, 1998).

The education of children has existed since the beginning of time as parents have taught and molded their children into the young adults they desired them to be. Initial training of children was not in a formal setting, although history would see numerous settings, purposes, and methodological changes. Philosophies of education have also changed through the years as various voices have seemed to grasp the purpose of educating the next generation, thus laying out objectives to reach those goals of teaching children.

Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776-1841) was a German philosopher, psychologist and founder of pedagogy as an academic discipline. According to Herbart, abilities were not innate but could be instilled, so a thorough education could provide the framework for moral and

Is corporal punishment wrong or is it a vital tool for disciplining our children which without our society will ultimately continue to degrade its self and cause our fore fathers to roll over in their graves? Corporal punishment with in reason is not abuse and should be considered a vital tool that is not out dated and should be used widely and constantly through out the previous and upcoming generations of man kind. Today with the mostly discontinued use of corporal punishment and generic discipline our children are becoming less disciplined, more disrespectful, and growing in their “boldness.”

Therefore, as you can see from reading this article, the 49 states that legalized corporal punishment should have a law in place. A law that, not only, helps the children learn how to follow rules, but also protects them, and the teachers. Getting a spanking in school helped me more than it hurt me; nevertheless, we do need a law in place that would protect us

Thomas Eddlem is a longtime freelance writer and high school history teacher. His credentials as related to the topic of corporal punishment is that he is a parent to three children as well as a blogger. His stake in this issue is appropriately used corporal punishment is both effective and beneficial. Additionally, He discloses no noteable financial backing for his opinions. He aims this article at a universal/ friendly audience. His purpose is to persuade the audience to believe that corporal punishment, when used on toddlers, is the most effective means of discipline. He claims a ban

His educational theories spawned from the concept that the teaching of young children was of vital importance to comprehensive educational and social reform. “Education consists in leading man, as a thinking intelligent being, growing into self consciousness, to a pure and unsullied, conscious and free representation of the inner law of Devine Unity and in teaching him ways and means thereto” (Froebel 2). He was the first educator to recognize the brain development from birth. His revolutionary forward thinking toward the education of young children, varied quite differently from structuralized education of his time, when education was reserved for those of wealth, and of older standing, it did not see the value of educating the young mind. Froebel, seeing the innocence in the minds of young children sought to reform the social aspects as early as possible, creating a new institute for the development of young children. Froebel called his new schools “kindergarten,” which translated from the German word means “child garden.” In his German schools, he emphasized the teaching of young children through play, he “envisioned a space filled with the sights, sounds and objects of early childhood […] simple shapes, sizes, and colors which delighted the child and formed the basis for early impression” (Shapiro 23). Fredrick Froebel, institutionalized the concept of refining the education of young children through educational toys, songs, and finger play. A concept that would prove to be excitably new and highly beneficial to the future of young children in California’s educational

This furthers the belief that Polonius is

Polonius is an important and respected person. It seems appropriate that he investigates and controls the behavior of his son and daughter. He, as the King's advisor is no longer a private person but a public one: what he or his children do has important public, not just personal implications. However, if his actions and speeches are examined closer, it is evident that he is a limited and vain person who is overly concerned with his appearance and wears different masks to tune up to different people.

Throughout the ECCE 1101 Introduction to Early Childhood course at Savannah Technical College there were several theorists introduced in the course that had a major impact on molding the foundation for an understanding of early childhood as a whole. Although the scope covered a broad spectrum of early childhood, majority of the main focus was on early education. The work of Lev Vygotsky greatly influenced the field of early education. This paper will include a brief summary of Vygotsky’s life, a description of his major ideas, and how those ideas impact early education today.

I shall outline the two differing arguments (pro-corporal and anti-corporal punishment) and conclude with the conditional corporal punishment which also reflect my own view, and which for me, is a neutral ground for both arguments to be

The world has changed in many different ways, but there are still things that need to be changed for the better. Corporal punishment is one of those things. All around the world, corporal punishment is affecting children in many ways. It is described as a form of discipline that hurts a child in a way and is used both in homes and schools. It has been going on for years upon years and very few people try to stop it. People believe corporal punishment is good for children, but there have been so many negative outcomes that other people argue against it. Although some people believe that corporal punishment helps improve a child’s behavior, corporal punishment should not be used because it could be used excessively and it is ineffective.

He even did extensive work in certain areas of science. His first mathematic instructions were that of his father, who was a pastor in a neighboring town. His father had significant achievements in mathematics. Realizing his son’s potential, Euler’s father sent him
