True Education is Classical Education

Co-Author of Classical Education: The Movement Sweeping America and founder of the CiRCE institute, Andrew Kern joins John today to talk about the history of education, especially in America and maybe where it all went off the rails (hint: it happened before the colonies got their independent streak). They also explore what a return to classical education could look like and what it would mean for future generations.

Society is disenchanting, but are the only alternatives hiding out in the hills or burying yourself in books? With an air of levity and a touch of humor, John Heers teaches how to examine the confusing New World by calling upon the mind and wisdom of oft-forgotten Old. Heavy Things, Lightly. --- Credits Music: Intro / Outro Provided by Greg Gilbertson & Band This is a public episode.
