Youth Truth

Not Getting the Education You Were Promised? Start a Reading Club

3/24/2017

 
“… the students were complaining about the education they were receiving. One girl said, “I thought the classes and professors would be challenging, but I’m not getting the education I was promised when I came.” The other students agreed that their classroom experiences were falling short of their expectations.”
 
“What struck me most was that these were Clemson students. Clemson University: a “public ivy” institution with a reputation for top faculty and student excellence in the classroom.”
 
“The conversation of that day embodies the great problem within higher education. In the Classical Age of learning in ancient Greece, Plato argued that true education not only conveyed to us a right knowledge but also taught us to desire those things that are right and good. By the standard of the ancients, the current state of higher education is unquestionably prostrate and lamentable.”
 
The fix?  Start a reading club.  You will be following in the footsteps of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
 
The Lord of the Rings or “The Cultural Significance of the Barbie Doll” – your choice.
