Episode 9 Logic Part II - How We Teach Logic (Special Guest - Mr. Tomlinson

Mr. Bianchet and Mr. Mullins deviate from Educational Philosophy for a moment and discuss Logic as a discipline with a special guest....Mr. JR Tomlinson! Mr. Tomlinson is a first-year teacher at Veritas that has graciously taken on the Logic program in the 7th and 8th grades (among other classes.) The three of them breakdown how logic is taught and viewed at Veritas.   Mr. Mullins plugs his Apologetic Primer book, Unabashedly Resolute: The Chasm (available on Amazon) that is taught at the Upper School, in both the Logic School and Rhetoric School. It is a book that is a guide for anyone to begin to learn the processes and language necessary for proper thinking.   The proper thinking that is being taught and forged in our students is so important for their formation as a student, Christian, and human. Here at Veritas, we take Logic very seriously and have seen such good fruit over the last two years from the students engaging in this arduous process and mental crucible. Students who have a foundation in Logic are going to be prepared for and will flourish in the Rhetoric stage. Classical education is one that builds specifically on the last stage wherein the result is not necessarily a student prepared for college or a specific job, but prepared to be a fully formed human who can flourish in any aspect of adulthood.
