In this engaging memoir that covers fifty years of a lifetime spent in education as student, teacher, dean, and college president, the author presents a theme of profound importance for society in general, and for the future of education in particular - the loss of the liberal arts in our time, and how to regain them. When young Robert Gannon was a college freshman in the early twentieth century, it was unthinkable that there would ever be a time when Greek and Latin would not be an essential part of the college curriculum. But over the next several decades, in a world radically altered by two...

Luigi Giussani, a high school religion teacher throughout the 1950s and 1960s, grounded his teachings in the vast body of experience to be found in Christianity's two-thousand-year history. He told his students, "I'm not here to make you adopt the ideas I will give you as your own, but to teach you a method for judging the things I will say." Throughout his life, education was one of Giussani's primary intellectual interests. He believed that effective education required an adequate background in the Christian tradition, presented within a lived experience that underscored the capacity of the ...

Education Myths: What Special Interest Groups Want You to Believe About Our Schools--And Why It Isn't So

Seller ID: 219385

ISBN-13: 9780742549784

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

How can we fix America's floundering public schools? Conventional wisdom says that schools and teachers need a lot more money, that poor and immigrant children can't do as well as most American kids, that high-stakes tests just produce teaching to the test, and that vouchers do little to help students while undermining our democracy. But what if the conventional wisdom is wrong? Jay Greene provocatively shows that much of what people believe about education policy is little more than a series of myths advanced by the special interest groups dominating public education.

The First Year of Latin is the product of practical experience in the classroom. It aims in the most direct manner to prepare the pupil to read Caesar s Gallic Wars. While a general survey of the essential features of the Latin grammar is made, only those parts are emphasized which are needed. With few exceptions the words and phrases are taken directly from Caesar s War with the Helvetii, and by their frequent repetition a sufficient vocabulary is established to simplify the reading of Caesar in the second year. Special attention is given to reviews. At short intervals a lesson is made up of ...

Measurement is a fundamental concept that underpins almost every aspect of the modern world. It is central to the sciences, social sciences, medicine, and economics, but it affects everyday life. We measure everything - from the distance of far-off galaxies to the temperature of the air, levels of risk, political majorities, taxes, blood pressure, IQ, and weight. The history of measurement goes back to the ancient world, and its story has been one of gradual standardization. Today there are different types of measurement, levels of accuracy, and systems of units, applied in different contexts....

Who Killed Homer? : The Demise of Classical Education and the Recovery of Greek Wisdom

The ideals and political and cultural institutions of Western civilization grew in the soil of ancient Greece: this truism used to make it imperative that any well-educated citizen be familiar with our classical heritage and even with Greek and Latin languages. More, it used to inspire an admiration for that heritage, a recognition that its genius enabled our own civilization to flourish, nurturing science and technological prowess, human rights and freedoms, tolerance, and other virtues that non-Western cultures desire. But thirty years of cultural relativism and deconstruction -- and the cyn...

The origin and nature of the earliest universities are the subjects of this famous and witty set of lectures by the man whom eminent scholars have called without exaggeration... the soul of the renascence of medieval studies in the United States. Great as the differences are between the earliest universities and those of today, the fact remains, says Professor Haskins, the the university of the twentieth century is the lineal descendant of medieval Paris and Bologna. In demonstrating this fact, he brings to life the institutions, instruction, professors, and students of the Middle Ages.
