I read the article with great interest because my brother-in-law was an English teacher at Classical for many years. He retired because he was sick of what Classical was becoming due to political correctness. Now it is apparently more of a day-care center for troubled youth than a true institution of teaching and learning. Very sad - and not a slam to current teachers, but VERY DEFINITELY meant as a slam to school administrators.
Dear tgusa,
That’s really too bad. I was having some hope that the “old-fashioned” ways were making a comeback.
It’s rather ironic that the administration of the school have rejected the classical curriculum, considering that the idea of having schools at all is derived from classical thought. If Plato hadn’t started the Academy, the educators wouldn’t be here to reject Plato!
Oh, well. Nothing good lasts forever, I guess.
