But when the differences arose‚ on how to cross a desert

My Philosophy on Education When I first read over the assignment on educational philosophy‚ it was not something I gave much thought to. It also seemed like a daunting task as I read the handout. The terminology alone was foreign‚ Metaphysics‚ Epistemology and Axiology. I had to look Axiology up in the dictionary‚ I thought it might be some sort of medieval craft lumberjacks practiced.
