Idealism was discovered by Plato. He believes that ideas are the only true reality. He thinks this is the only one worth knowing. Reality lies within out own intellect. Plato who is the father of Idealism explained this view in about 400 BC in his book "the republic" and it has been around since. Plato believed there were two worlds. The Spiritual/mental world and the appearance world. This is what we refer to as the duality of mind and body.
Idealism in critical in the classroom. This philosophy helps better the society by discovering each students abilities. This occurs most in literature, religion, philosophy, and history. I believe this is a great way of trying to teach a child. Since different children learn and behave in many different ways, teachers have to know how to deal with all these different children. A teacher should definitely should know this philosophy because it encourages the children to learn on their own and strive for achievement.
