Review: Back to Future- Is Classical Education the Answer? : This is a book that seeks to present a broad overview of the classical Christian model of education. Today's America's schools are in a mess. Violence and drug-usage at schools are no longer news. Learning to read and write gives people the tools to ask and answer questions in life. But our schools fail miserably in this basic task. Douglas Wilson is strongly against government schools. He argues that all these happened because we falsely believe that schools can be neutral about morality. He says that education is basically religious. Education deals with the basic questions if life, and these questions demand religious answers. He proposed that we must turn to Christian classic education- in styles, philosophies, even curriculums, with an emphasis on the children development. Has Wilson gone too far? It is your call. However, he will convince you that education is not the world's savior. Education itself needs to be saved!
