2110 - STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
Education in the Defiance City Schools is based on the recognition of the dignity and worth of each individual, without discrimination on the basis of color, national origin, race, gender, religion, disability, age, pregnancy or marital status. To this end, therefore, the Schools believe that:
| A. | the primary mission of public education involves three (3) tasks: first, to develop in each student the ability to communicate and to be communicated with; second, to acquaint the student with those facts, ideologists, and techniques upon which modern cultures have been built; and third, to foster in each student the desire to arrive at independent conclusions after an open-minded consideration of all available information; | |
| B. | the school has equal responsibility with the home, church, and community to point out and reinforce those moral, spiritual and patriotic values upon which our own culture has been built. | |
| That the school can best fulfill this shared responsibility on an incidental basis rather than in formal classes designed specifically for this purpose, since every class presents many opportunities to effectively reinforce our own values. | ||
| C. | life in a technological world requires continual and rapid readjustment and careful re-evaluation, but we believe that these necessary changes can best be made from a firm base of established human values. |
