Augustine’s beliefs were heavily rooted in Idealism. The idea that learners are naturally motivated to be good and work towards an idealized notion of what that goodness is, stands at the crux of Augustine’s beliefs. Additionally, Augustine believed that teachers are models of virtue represented by abstracts that are more perceptive than definable. As a result of these ideas, goodness or virtue seems to be something people always work towards but never achieve. The general concepts that Augustine propagated may have been obtainable in his time, but it would be easy to identify flaws of Idealism in current educational systems.

Currently, in the United States, there are many belief systems. As a result of these belief systems, perception is broader than ever; ideas of freedom and goodness may vary more significantly than when Augustine practiced Idealism. As a result of the paradoxical nature of our current society, Idealism probably would not work. It is possible and probable that people in the same school may not be able to agree on what constitutes good behavior. For example, at one school, a teacher may feel it is entirely acceptable and even good to share that they are pregnant but not married with their class of students. Others, perhaps even in the same school, may view the teacher’s behavior and status as unacceptable. Practicing Idealism in the United States today would require all people to be like-minded and have similar morals, which isn’t realistic; it probably wasn’t realistic in Augustine’s time either.
In many ways, it is unfortunate that Idealism is not obtainable because it sounds, in theory, like a great practice; however, when theory and praxis meet on these ideas in current society, there is much lacking.
