Content Focus and Philosophy

I am really looking forward to teaching social studies on a secondary level. I love this subject content. I have always had a natural ability to tell stories and relate them to modern day. I believe that this will help me be a better teacher in History, Geography and Sociology.

My philosophy of education is more socialist then our current system. I believe the following.
- Everyone who has the ability should be able to attend college at no cost.
- Everyone should have equal access to quality education.
- Teacher's salaries should be subsidized by the federal government at a level of other professionals.
- Teachers should be rated by merit and performance.
