		Perennialism has two major divisions: secular, and religious, and their goals and methods differ somewhat.
		Religious perennialism is the original form, developed first by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century in his work De Magistro, (The Teacher).
		He also argued that education is not mere manipulation of a mind from outside, but that rather some essential spark (from God) remade the knowledge in the student's mind.

		Education as a profession is a widely misunderstood field of interest; it is divided into the realms of multiple philosophies, dictating its definition based on interpretation of five predominate categories: essentialism, progressivism, perennialism, existentialism, and behaviorism.
		Using the educator as a guide to how to meet clear goals, I believe that education is primarily based on individual self-discovery of what is desired from the presented curriculum as dictated by the student.
		Students are pushed to thrive in each of these areas based on the educators though his or her varied philosophies and teaching methods and the needs of the students.

		The view among them was that the emphasis on narrow specialization in American colleges had harmed the quality of higher education by failing to expose students to the important products of Western civilization and thought.
		They were at odds both with much of the existing educational establishment and with contemporary educational theory.
		Educational theorists like Sidney Hook and John Dewey (see pragmatism) disagreed with the premise that there was crossover in education (e.g, that a study of philosophy, formal logic, or rhetoric could be of use in medicine or economics).

		Educators are concerned with the extent of which the impairment affects the person’s ability to speak and understand spoken language.
		Educational Considerations The belief that students with special gifts or talents do not need specially designed education works against talent development; special school supports are needed if they are to achieve their full potential.

		Dewey views education as a continuous growth and thus he demands of schools that they “present the studies in relation to one another and link available knowledge with the live context beyond the classroom” (Philosophy of Dewey, 240).
		I believe in teaching students the basic knowledge of education because it is the foundation needed later in life, although I am opposed to taking standardized tests.
		Decision-making is important as in progressivism, and the teacher teaches the value of education.

		Perennialism is a teacher-centered philosophy, which means that it is an orientation that emphasizes the importance of transferring knowledge from an older generation to a younger generation.
		In conclusion, Perennialism is only one of many workable answers to the ongoing question of how best to educate today’s youth.

		I feel this way because it embraces the purpose or original goal of public education, it allows lessons to be gauged to all different learning styles, and finally because essentialism employs methods of teaching and discipline that I believe work exceptionally well with my content specialization.
		Public educations is just what it says in my opinion—it is an education for the public, for the people of America.
		Therefore, public education is, or should be, very important to the American people as it is to me which is one reason why I argue that Essentialism with its standards and curriculums is essential to American education.

		The Japanese methods were nearly opposite to that of the United States: control of schools was highly centralized, rote memorization of verbatim book knowledge without much interaction described the standard student-teacher relationship and the study texts were described as boring.
		The ratio of school years was made to resemble that of the United States' which was 6 years Elementary education : 4 years Secondary education : 4 years higher education.
		A less centralized hierarchy of school administrators was introduced; totally unprecedented, parents were allowed to vote for school boards.

		Perennial means "everlasting," like a perennial flower that comes up year after year.
		Espousing the notion that some ideas have lasted over centuries and are as relevant today as when they were first conceived, perennialism urges that these ideas should be the focus of education.
		Similarly, while essentialism reflects the traditional American view that the "real" world is the physical world we experience with our senses, perennialism is more open to the notion that universal spiritual forms--such as those posited by Plato or by theological philosophers--are equally real.
