Teaching for Virtue | K12 - An American Classical Education

[@kilom113]

“I didn’t want my kids to go through an education system. I wanted my students to be educated.” I love it.

[@topsiecurrets6812]

As a highschool drop out, this is the kinda school i wish i knew existed. This is a better future of education. Teach our youth to teach themself and never stop growing an learning. Schools like these turn out self relient conscientious humans. Education is the root of a functioning civilized society. This kind of classical education is the foundation we need.

[@outloudthinking2691]

My wife and I are going to take on the challenge of homeschooling our children. Not only teaching them their curriculum but also adding in the Constitution of United States of America in the history for which we were founded on . And we will also include a daily Bible class . We are curious to see where this will go and We have come to the conclusion that we must be willing to give up worldly possessions to keep our kids safe and secure a future for their them. I would give it all up for them... I know it will be worth it.

[@clarissahulet9150]

Yes! It is worth it! Hard work but worth it! Sounds like you have a great plan already.

@@hillsdalecollege so excited by the reply. My wife is actually already enrolled and is in the process of doing several class. She has finished the Constitution 101 course and and the class on Genesis. I am also in the process of doing this as well. The information that you provided, if anyone is reading this comment it is a huge benefit for our country and it is our duty As Americans to try and save our country. Hillsdale College provides most of this for free. I really asked you, what are you waiting for. A huge thank you to Hillsdale College and those that are fighting to keep our Constitution and Freedoms alive. I would encourage anyone to check out Hillsdale College and as only one American, I say let's take our country back.🇺🇲❤

Wonderful. Can feel this so deep. My children are 11,8 and 4. Really struggling with the public school situation... thank you for this hills dale. We do lots of virtue work on our own and throughout our summer adventures. Having that integrated into schools should be the “norm”

[@poliscikosis3187]

Is this a re-upload of their older video? yes. Will I up-vote EVERY SINGLE ONE that Hillsdale uploads of this video? Also yes. This video encapsulates how I want to make a difference as a public school American Govt teacher. Thankfully I am in a district that is virtue friendly. My students are still coming around to it.

[@poliscikosis3187]

@@jakebredthauer5100 Does it matter? Virtue is evident through reason. It is by it's very nature, the study of learning how to be a well rounded human.

[@jakebredthauer5100]

@@poliscikosis3187 According to my religion, nothing matters more than having a good religion. Why would you want to be virtuous? What is your religion?

[@jakebredthauer5100]

@@poliscikosis3187 I am thinking you may have missed a coma after the second "is". I am going to check on the definition of "virtue". It is a word that is not used much.

[@poliscikosis3187]

@@jakebredthauer5100 religion that demands good religion is by it's nature a faulty religion. Take the Bible as a comparison. The Bible says "Be thou holy AS God is holy". It's not placing the emphasis on you being a holy person because thats what is demanded, It is saying emulate God. For this is what goodness is. God IS good, it is a part of His very nature. And thus, what we call "good" is not something God simply arbitrarily stated was good, rather, goodness is an aspect of His nature. Concerning your question about why would a person want to be virtuous. because through virtue, we can experience what Aristotle called the Golden Mean. This is needed in order to live a "good life." Not good as in being a 'good person' but rather a 'good life' for the individual.

Absolutely awsome! I will looking into this further. 👏👍💪🙏🇺🇸

[@rowanaforrest9792]

We don't have school-age children, but if we did we'd even relocate to get them into a Hillsdale school. If that were not possible, we'd do some variation of home schooling using as much Hillsdale curriculum as possible. The value of a true classical education is beyond measure.

[@jnesrh420]

@@rowanaforrest9792 I agree so far from what I've seen. Thanks for the input.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

Public schools operate with their hand tied by politics which is the reason I sent my son to private school. It was the best monetary investment for his future. This particular private school demanded the child's best effort which caused just about all of the kids to strive. It also demanded parent involvement.

[@flippinbizzy1194]

I teach high school art and leadership at a Charter School in Texas that is centered on LEADERSHIP. Although I believe at the inception of our school, the model utilized by Hillsdale was similar in theory and desired by the founders. However, we are no different than the garbage pumped out by public schools. Hillsdale is the benchmark from what I gather. I'm so discouraged and disgusted with my profession that I explained to my wife this very morning, that what I do is not teach...I manage...I babysit. With rare exception, I mainly see brain dead, phone-addicted, vape smoking, sex crazed, hydrocephalic, narcissistic, breathers. And that's just the teachers! Imagine the students. I'm kidding. Most teachers really care and we scratch our heads as we navigate impassable waters. People... Send your children to Hillsdale quality schools...or better yet, Homeschool. The homeschool students we receive on occasion are eons ahead of the twits we try to teach. Unless God is the center of education, it's futile.

[@PLA5207]

Outstanding. Please continue in full force Hillsdale College.

[@reddrabbit5056]

This is very useful. Many good private schools have curriculum focused on critical thinking and basic moral principles. If you can afford it - it is a much better option than homeschooling and of course public schools. These schools generally do not put up with discipline issues on an ongoing basis. In these cases, the kid is invited to leave the school.

[@poetmaggie1]

The arts have vanished from so many education system, and families have to supplement, but the more graduates who haven't had any of that kind of education can't give any of it to the kids. The kids are not learning to think or to read literature or write papers anymore. Back when my daughter was in college in the 1990, she needed not just math but writing help before she could get serious about her studies. Her daughter had even less, although schools still have band and theater.

[@khaimgulkovich3368]

The purpose of education is humanization, and not socialization.

[@BrandonsCommentary]

Although it is not exclusive or elitist in content, it is exclusive and elitist in reach. This kind of education is still only available to the wealthy and those who are lucky enough to have the right opportunities in life. This is the kind of education I wish we could have in the prison systems, where I once lived and now I teach, but alas, society thinks they can only work with their hands.

[@jordankahele9772]

Thomas Jefferson and Madison emphasized public education as the remedy for and deterrent to unconstitutional conduct.

[@rowanaforrest9792]

I'm sure, however, that Jefferson and Madison envisioned public schools that taught classical education like this. Public schools used to, but then lost their way worse and worse until now they don't even teach reading, writing, and arithmetic well, much less all the rest. Parents would not be striving en masse for alternatives to public school if those schools were still giving a true classical education.

We all would have greatly benefited from a proper education no doubt. The fact that you're here, watching this video and thinking of what you could have been is a key to moving forward and upward. I'm 53 and wish I had discovered Hillsdale, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Victor Davis Hanson, and others earlier. Beyond grateful that I know of them now. so I"m better equipped for my ongoing journey. Very best wished to you my friend.

Is there a homeschooling option through Hillsdale college... Can somebody give me some advice.

[@NickyLindolls]

I’m striving for the same. So far I’m researching The Trivium and classical education. I’m reading everything I can find on it. I’m starting with The Well Trained Mind book as a stepping stone. I’m using Logic of English book to learn and then to teach proper phonics and spelling rules. There are curriculum out there that have it all. They will send you all the books and a schedule. I used that for the first year. Now I’m switching it up a bit and trying to include more classical literature as well as Latin. Another way to emulate would be to research the school’s curriculum that you like and try to implement the parts that best suit your family. I’m still new to this, but I feel this is the best way to educate our children. Hope others have more helpful advice. 😅

[@phineasrumson3116]

Does this school allow the poorer segment of society access to this school? I was once a middle class, white male, who was educated and well established. An industrial injury dropped me into a much lower income category. Any person who desires an education, (not indoctrination) should have access to one. May our LORD GOD have mercy on the republic! I see too many young people who are dropped in "liberal" schools that focus on inclusion, diversity, and deconstructionism of our history. The past is just that, if we gloss it over or modify it to fit someone's agenda, our nation is finished!

[@teaspoonofsass4070]

Yes, these are tuition free public charter schools. The tax dollars for the student go to the charter school.
