Cite instances in your organization where Perennialism is very evident.

Perennialists believe that the focus of education should be the ideas

that have lasted over centuries. Based on my experienced, the teachers in our
school specially the k-3 teachers are way more focused on the reading and
writing skills of the pupils while the 4-6 teachers emphasized more the critical
thinking skills and reading comprehension of the learners to develop Also the
reasoning skills. moreover, inside the classroom you can find different posters
from different subject areas which are very essential for students' masteries
on different contents
Based on my experiences is that we should remind the students to
always read. I also encourage student’s public speak so that they will get
used to it. I also remind them to listen to their teachers when having class.
