[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Dems, send kids to a classical school for under 20k a yr. Lots of direct instruction and memorization through fun songs, chants, etc. The point is to lay a foundation of historical/literary/scientific content that they draw on in later years as they learn more logic, argumentation, and rhetoric. So yes, they are sort of told more what to think relative to public, but there’s a purpose— the self expression is thought to come more later. They still get lots of free play and outdoor time, which is great for imaginative play, teamwork, etc…all of the “soft” but very important skills. No tech till middle school then very very tech light. [/quote] Yes. After all, you have to know SOMETHING. As Charlie Munger put it, your education is a latticework on which to hang your ideas.
