My Philosophy of Education: Combining Progressivism, Essentialism and B

My school of thought of Education Combining Progressivism, Essentialism and Behaviorism Upon being faced with the task of authorship my philosophical system of teaching, I made many attempts to narrow the basis for my philosophy down to one or two simple ideas.
