Education isn't dead yet

Lisa Van Damme has reminded me that there is hope for this country yet so long as innovators are free to pursue their ambition. She has a school in Southern California where good theory leads to one hell of a school.

"Education, in our view, is the systematic training of the minds of children. This requires the right presentation of the right material over a period of many years. A proper curriculum supplies each student with the essential content of knowledge, and teaches him to be a logical thinker. The result is a mature adult who knows what he thinks and can think on his own."

Just reading that makes me want to return to pursuing a career in education - not yet though.
