I was a public school teacher AND a technology specialist, and I never expected how much my opinion would change.
But I have done a complete 180.
One of my favorite things about classical education is how much learning happens through books. Literature isn’t limited to one class. Books are woven into history, science, and so much of what they’re learning.
And I’ve watched the difference it has made in my own children. Their vocabulary, writing, comprehension, and ability to think deeply about what they’re learning has grown so much.
Add in less technology and more reading, writing, discussion, and conversation, and I’ve come to really appreciate this way of learning.
I will always be grateful for my years in public education, but seeing classical education through the eyes of my own children has completely changed my perspective.
