I am in Florida for an ACCS board meeting. I covet your prayers as we have a lot of big decisions to make about the future of the Association.

Last night, I spent some time listening (more than talking) to a few very bright guys. I enjoyed the time greatly. Their thoughts, at least in the main, were ones that I found myself disagreeing with. Listening to the discussion really helped me gain some clarity. It made me consider the education that classical Christian schools work to give to their students! We spend time in discussion. Working to help students listen and respond. Seeing the truth that is sifted out as ideas sharpened against each other. I want to help students have the experience that I had last night. In classical education, we look different in secondary school. We argue with each other. We discuss. We wrestle with idea, and try to pin many of them. The skill that we are teaching is grappling.

Just another confirmation that classical Christian education is the right answer for what our kids need now.
