Wilson is one of today's foremost advocates of a return to a Christian classical education, with its emphasis on discipline, hard work, moral training and the restoration of the ancient divisions of learning, geared to child development stages. This can transform a home and is Wilson's best book yet on classical education.
America's schools are flunking the test. Students can't read. They can't write. Basic math, science, history, and geography are almost lost causes. Many school aren't even safe havens from crime and drugs.
Doug Wilson lays much of the blame for this on the idea that schools can be neutral about morality. He says education is essentially religious. Education deals with the basic questions of life, and those questions require religious answers. Learning to read and write gives people the tools to ask and answer such questions. But our schools fail even in this task.
Building on his previous book, Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, he says we must turn to Christian classical education with its emphasis on the ancient division of learning geared to childhood development. Wilson will open your eyes to the reality that education is not the world's savior--education itself needs to be saved.
