What an amazing bookstore! Definitely need to visit.

[Erik Rostad (Books of Titans) @booksoftitans]

I've been to bookstores all over the world, and as far as I can tell, what we've done at Landmark Booksellers in Franklin, TN with The Great Wall, presenting the Great Books in chronological order, is something no other store is doing. Anyone know of another?

Yes.

As a veteran teacher in an A.C.C.S. school, it’s so staggering to me when I read about Ivy League students who can’t read whole books. At what point do we just admit that these are not actually elite schools anymore and that the place to find real education going on, with sharp and capable students…isn’t at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, etc.? Look to Hillsdale, look to New Saint Andrews, look to small classical Christian colleges starting to dot the American landscape who are educating young people who have already spent years (in K-12) studying Latin, reading the Western canon, studying logic, and practicing the oratory arts of rhetoric. The Public schools and DEI focused institutions of “higher learning” are simply failing…but that doesn’t mean no one is getting an education these days. Many homeschooling families and classical Christian schools are doing the work of rasing up new scholars. The future is brighter than you think!

@jacob_allee A People's History of the United States, by Howard Zinn.

[Logres Institute for Classical Liberal Studies @LogresInstitute]

Yes.

[Joshua D Phillips @JoshPhillipsPhD]

The Western Canon should be central to school curriculum.

"The obstacles to knowledge-rich education are not scientific; they are ideological, professional, structural, political, cultural, and increasingly technological."

An excellent essay by @rpondiscio.

His problems are areas Logres hopes to overcome.

In all of our programs, we read whole books. A Logres class assigns between 400-1200 pages depending on the course.

Come study with us. Applications open July 1.

“We are now reaching a crisis point where if the number (of pages) goes down further, it’s unclear to me whether my discipline of #history can really be taught” https://t.co/CbPqLjb4j2

Love it!

Just found out that an excerpt from Sons of Adam, Daughters of Eve: C.S. Lewis's Images of Gender is on the top of @AmReformer!

Become the teacher who can lead your students to ponder great and hidden questions. July 1 - we open registration. https://t.co/WzXWOGB3wE

[Classic Learning Test @CLT_Exam]

The average student graduates after 12 years of schooling and still cannot answer the most important questions in life.

What is a good man?
What is justice?
What is worth sacrificing for?
What is beauty?
What is truth?
What is the purpose of life?

Classical education begins with the assumption that any education failing to address these questions is not really education at all.

"The classical school should be patriotic. There is no such thing as a citizen of the world. It is a contradiction in terms."

@AnthonyEsolen, Classical Catechism (Wake Forest, NC: @thalespress, 2024), 100.

"In other words, the ratio of progressive to canonical course content at Stanford has tripled, from 1.1 to 3.1."

[Logres Institute for Classical Liberal Studies @LogresInstitute]

45 pages of canonical writing against 500 pages of ideology; 11:1 indoctrination vs. education in @Stanford 's Why College freshman course, per Ivan Marinovic in @TheFP

"it is striking that a course introducing Stanford freshmen to the life of the mind assigns 50 pages of a contemporary critique of Western science and not a single page of a contemporary defense of it."

"a quality classical education for all American students is only possible if they are willing to ditch Dewey’s failed progressive model and admit that conservatives and Christians [were] right about education all along." Auguste Meyrat in @FDRLST

"Holding kids accountable, stressing personal responsibility, honoring the Western tradition, and meritocracy are Christian conservative priorities even if educators avoid citing Bible verses and parables from the Gospels." - Auguste Meyrat in @FDRLST
