Basic point: The classical and Christian approach to education is about equipping children for the future with what has been successful in the past. (2) Hits the Trivium, references Sayers, advocates Latin, and addresses the myth of neutrality. As an example of the latter: Many educators and parents act as though schools can teach a kind of vanilla education and then parents can pour on values and even sprinkle on God a s topping if they so choose. ...
