Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is significant in its insights into the question of how best to educate the young, particularly focusing on the tension between practical, commercial education and classical, language-based education. The author makes a compelling case for the superiority of a classical education in training the intellect. The text begins with the author rejecting the commonly held assumption that, in today's world, classical education is inferior to modern education in terms of preparing the young for success, and argues that, in fact, the opposite is true. The author provides compelling arguments and everyday examples to illustrate his point. This book will be of interest to educators, parents, and anyone interested in the nature of learning, the discipline of education, and the relative merits of different approaches to teaching students.
