Mr. Charles Colson - Classical Christian Education: The Imperative

Pastor Douglas Wilson - The Value of Classical Education

Americans are a pragmatic people, and they always want to get to the bottom line. The problem is that pragmatism can be hoisted on its own petard; pragmatism doesn’t work. A willingness to be impractical, rightly understood, is one of the most practical things we can do. This is a key principle that classical Christian schools need to understand, all the way
down to the ground.
