Master actress Liz COLEMAN (Davids mom) on liberal arts education: A DREAM long forgotten because in America the slate was not clean--no opportunity to start it all over under her imagined purpose of education: CIVIC ENGAGEMENT TO CHANGE THE WORLD. She regrets that the questions: What kind of a world are we making? What kind of a world should we be making? What kind of a world can we be making? are treated with skepticism & that fundamentalists insist on absolutes. George Roche, past pres, Hillsdale College, said that true EDUCATION COMES TO US OUT OF THE PAST and is to be refined in the present. The MODERN MENTALITY is that EDUCATION AWAITS US IN THE FUTURE, and WE MUST GO THERE AND GET IT. This is basically THE ESSENCE of difference between classical, academic education versus current college & career-ready, outcomes-based modification training, such as Common Core. (Roche reference from Douglas Wilson, Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning) https://youtube/watch?v=syqScVtnKuU#t=1094
