Reviving American Classical K-12 Education

[@prowler1567]

Universal school choice should be in every state.

YEAH! 'cause it's getting too difficult to teach "duh lost cause" fake history in public schools.

Very much appreciate all you both do Dr. Arn and Dr. O'Toole. I've learned quite a lot from the video you both do. And because of it, my 7yr old is all the better for it. She doesn't get classical education at her private Montessori school, but I have taken action at home to give my best attempt to give my little girl as much classical education as we can. Again, thank you both. /jim akagi

The funny part (as a former teacher who taught for 9 years in low SES, 6 of which were in a charter school) the institution thinks that to close the poverty gap is to give them 1:1 laptop programs. And I agree, it was more a distraction and hindrance than anything. It was one thing when I was a kid and it was basically used for the word processing feature and the only way to use the internet was in the computer lab.

Vicki Alger wrote a book about how to dismantle the dept of education and return it all to the states. This makes sense that the step after that would be universal education for the states

there are 3 kinds of knowing. knowledge intelligence and wisdom knowledge is the memorization of facts, intelligence is the ability to know what you have not been told, and wisdom is the ability to know yourself and others through knowing human nature education can only produce knowledge, genetics makes intelligence.....and suffering makes wisdom

Ok , i donate to Hillsdale College they are exceptional. However, cursive writing is impossible for children that suffer from dysgraphia. There is no possibility for this kind of student to do that. It is a neurological , fine motor skill that they do not possess. Years ago these people found that a typewriter made them able to be a writer and now with keyboard they can do the same. My son has this with dyslexia and I had to journal endlessly for a doctor to tell me what his problems were actually called. Then one of the “finest” schools in Dallas told me he was not allowed to print or to use a keyboard to do his work. They referred me to private schools i could not afford. A single mother that had no help and had to earn a living and not able to do it all. I will be contacting Hillsdale and asking this question. It’s the keyboard that these children need, not the other technology. These children cannot learn to spell they spell phonetically - then there is spell check so when is this ok if this is what your human brain is doing.

@@DevinRSanto It was sarcasm against scholasticism. The modern figure is Skousen. Ancient figures are Socrates Plato and Aristotle. It appears to be a very good book on American history, suitable for a high school text. Thanks. It appears to me that a modern figure would have a chance of better understanding of the world because of the greater amount of experience the world has been through.

[@frankelliott244]

It’s Catholic education lite with Christian nationalism. The problem is that nationalism can be redefined by the church or government, and children in such a school will be indoctrinated into this new identity. The Nazis did this to the German educational system. They preached church and family values, but they redefined both so that children who betrayed their parents were considered virtuous.

Why is looking backward more important than looking forward? We know more about humanity now. Teaching values should include an evolution toward inclusivity. What is your solution for kids that do not fit neatly into "classical" identities? LGBTQ people exist. You can see them as adults across the globe. They have specific needs like safe spaces. They are vulnerable. What is your solution for this?

it is not logical to teach the bad parts of your own history with equal weight as the good. history should be sculped to inspire greatness and how ironic your side talking about scientific method which you don't use to derive your core beliefs of compassion and genderism, there are no scientific studies supporting the idea that gender identity is real yet you teach it
