Classical Education

Larry Arnn and Hillsdale college emphasize these three missing components for K-12 schools: Rigorous classical education. Moral character formation. And deep civic knowledge.

It occurred to me that the individuator of the future will have a special area of interests and expertise, but she will also be a polymath. A deep understanding of classical education, able to read original old texts in Latin, Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic would open up new worlds for the avid adult student. The indviduator grows morally and intellectually as well as artistically and spiritually.  Ongoing moral development must be added to this.

Our supercitizens must be very logical, very skeptical of authority, widely read and understanding of history and civic knowledge. The informed voter will run society well and give the politicians their walking orders.
