Trendy schooling treats the kid as a clean slate, a malleable
object to be shaped in response to the desire of whoever has energy over
instructional coverage. Classical Christian schooling treats the kid
as an individual made within the picture of God, a thriller to be held in awe,
and tends to the flowering of his already-given nature by main
him to knowledge and advantage.
Andrew Kern, founding father of the CiRCE Institute (Middle for
Impartial Analysis on Classical Schooling), is among the greatest
visitors Thomas has ever interviewed. On this episode he leads us
by way of the profound fundamentals of classical Christian
schooling—providing a radically completely different view of the human individual
and of actuality itself from that which predominates at present.
