    The Crisis Coming for Modern Education

    Modern schools champion technology and progress, yet find that this technology makes Modern schools obsolete. So, Modern schools attempt to restrict or prohibit the use of the technology they champion. As the calculator exposed the shallowness of Modern mathematics, artificial intelligence is going to expose the shallowness of the entire Modern curriculum. Children given a Modern Education will be inferior to machines and software powered by A.I. and will be useless in the Modern economy. Only real, classical education offers students what computers cannot imitate. This talk was given by Mr. William C. Michael, O.P., Headmaster of the Classical Liberal Arts Academy.

And the flocks and herds that are nursing are a concern to me; if overdriven for even a single day, the whole flock will die. Let my lord, then, go before his servant, while I proceed more slowly at the pace of the livestock before me and at the pace of my children." (Genesis 33:12-14) "The husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church. He is the saviour of his body. Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in all things. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church, and delivered himself up for it:" (Ephesians 5:23-25) ************** Mr. William C.
