Is Modern Education the Best Thing for our Modern World?
Classical education teaches students facts, provides them with logical tools to use those facts and perfects the student’s ability to relate those facts to others. This fundamental skill-set is more valuable today than it has ever been. Classical education helps students draw original, creative, and accurate conclusions from facts and then formulate those conclusions into logical and persuasive arguments. Regardless of our modernity, these timeless abilities to think well, read well and communicate well, are truly the most valuable of all educational outcomes.
It has been said that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. Much of modern education seems to look at history through the prism of the present with historical events colored by current ideology and a political correctness that distorts history and even our present-day society. To understand our modern world, a Classical approach emphasizes the rich timeline of human history and how events from the ancient to the recent affect and shape our modern world.
Science and technology are taught in classical schools through classical methods, with a much broader scope and depth to the discussion. Many wonder is the classical method applicable in our modern, technological age? The technology we have today was invented, in large part, by the classically educated. The groundwork for so many modern technological achievements, from the very basics of scientific study to modern engineering methods, was laid within the last 400 years when classical education was the most common form of excellent education.
Classical education teaches students the timeless skills of thinking, reasoning, logic, and expression. The subject matter is as up-to-date as that found in any modern government school. There is however, an added depth and dimension, through the time-tested Classical method, which has simply been lost in contemporary schools.
