I've been thinking a lot of my educational philosophy as it relates to my children. As a teacher, I wrote a philosophy, but this is different. This is about my children.
What follows below is more of an thought exercise for me than a well-thought out blog post. But I need to get these thoughts out.
In no particular order:
1. When I look into the future, I want most for my children to be G-d conscious people who want for their fellow human beings what they want for themselves. 'Nuff said.
2. I want my sons to love and respect knowledge. I want them to yearn for information and to never settle with ignorance.
3. I want them to be trilingual at least. I want them to be masters of their native tongue, and to learn Arabic, and at least two other languages.
4. I feel that my role as a parent, as their mother, is to protect their innocent natures and to nourish their minds, bodies, and souls with goodness.
5. I want to create a home environment that is peaceful, loving, prayerful, and humble.
6. I hope to create happy memories that will carry them into adulthood with pride and confidence.
7. I want to teach them to focus on the positive and to always be optimistic.
8. I want to encourage them to "trust in G-d" but to also "tie their camels."
9. I must insure their financial literacy.
10. I want to encourage them to study the world around them.
