Thank you for this article. Our church is just starting a Classical Lutheran Co-op for homeschoolers. We have 5 families 9 kids, it might not had happened if C-vid hadn’t happened.

He’s so wonderfully politically incorrect!
I so agree with this article – I teach in a small rural community where many of the students never go to college, or if they do, it’s a 2 year community college for a particular “program”. They intend to go into farming, like their fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers before them. The girls may go on for accounting or nursing – things that are “useful”; but they never see the beauty and “usefulness” of reading intellectually challenging material, pondering it, and coming to their own conclusion.
I’m so very grateful for the education that I received at a very Christian college back in the 70’s. One phrase that still resonates with me from the first week of Western Man and Lit (a combined class of history and literature) is “All truth is God’s truth, wherever it may be found”. This recognizes that God is supreme, because His truth permeates everything. When Christians can have this world view, hang on to our intellect, and stay involved in society, there is nothing we can’t accomplish.

I’m based in NZ and it is like you have been a fly on the wall hearing my thoughts and questions about the purpose of Education. My friends and I are enjoying the articles being written and are wanting to explore the possibility of starting a Christian Classical schooling option here in New Zealand.
