It is an area I would like to learn more about. <br /><br />From what little I have learned, I would probably classify it as better than most modern education, but guilty of an intrinsic approach to knowledge. If you have further insights, I would love to hear them.<br /><br />JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560477246248417263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768201.post-12296499782241010692009-09-13T11:07:03.937-05:002009-09-13T11:07:03.937-05:00whats your views(s) on classical education ?

And breakfast. And lunch. And vaccines. And a safe home. And speeches by Presidents. <br /><br />All whether you want it or not...it is not the parent's place to say...Michael Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954243680854667933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768201.post-2344686542583237522009-09-11T17:00:47.472-05:002009-09-11T17:00:47.472-05:00Thanks. :)

It cannot be done enough, now-a-day!!<br /><br />We need to fight for a rational system of education; some of our intellectual and political activism will be for naught, if we don't.<br /><br />And of course, it all has to be part of the broader, more fundamental task of fighting for reason.Michael Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954243680854667933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16768201.post-64199454699597026992009-09-11T12:08:30.657-05:002009-09-11T12:08:30.657-05:00Thanks Michael.
