Classic Education

Interesting discourse on the state of classic liberal arts education. It used to be that a liberal arts education would give one good grounding in western culture, philosophy, arts, history, language, literature and poetry, science, math; in other words a basic background from which to ask questions and search for the answers: a framework for investigation. Not as much now it seems. The most valuable thing to take away from school is the ability to learn and a passion for discovery.
