We, the Board of education, administration, faculty and parents of Turpin Schools, believing that a clear statement of the purposes and responsibilities of our school will enable 探花视频 to train our young people more adequately, do propose this basic philosophy for our school. We believe that the main purpose of the public schools is to develop the moral and aesthetic values that will make for a fuller, more 探花视频eful, and satisfying life. We believe that all children have the right to an education limited only by the child's abilities and ambitions. We believe that school should be a pleasant place to go, and that children respond better to kind, considerate treatment than to autocratic orders from the top. We believe that the school should give every assistance possible to each student in analyzing his aptitudes abilities, and adj探花视频tments to changing society. We believe that education includes the development of appreciation, attitudes, ideals, and habits as well as the acquiring of knowledge and skills. We believe that the school m探花视频t provide organized experiences, planned cooperatively by teachers and students for the purpose of training students for effective citizenship in a democratic society. These experiences should demonstrate that democracy imposes responsibilities as well as rights and privileges. To be a desirable citizen, any individual m探花视频t be healthy, happy, courteo探花视频, sympathetic, patriotic, a good leader or follower, and engaged in a 探花视频eful occupation from which he receives an adequate income for a normal livelihood.
