From Wikipedia:
Existentialism is a philosophical movement in which individual human beings are understood as having full responsibility for creating the meanings of their own lives. It is a reaction against more traditional philosophies, such as rationalism and empiricism, which sought to discover an ultimate order in metaphysical principles or in the structure of the observed world. The movement had its origins in the 19th century thought of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche and was prevalent in Continental philosophy in the 20th century.
Good Luck....

Teacher's blurb about existentialism is correct. Books to look up:
"Fear and Trembling" by Soren Kierkegaard
"Existentialism and Human Emotions" by Jean-Paul Sartre
Basic credo of existentialism: Since existence (the fact that you are alive and on the planet) preceds essence (who and what you are), your position in life and everything about you is a product of your own choices, and NO outside force.

In a public grade school system it would be that you teach what you are hired to teach and nothing more. The tax payer does not pay you to teach your philosophies, unless that is the class that you are hired to teach. Other wise, if we as parents hire you to teach American History then that is what you teach with out bias, or slant. Just facts as recorded.

Survival skills in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching out toward a maudlin cosmos of nothingness.
And no tests would be graded.
