Ep. 011: The Role of Liberal Arts in Fostering Moral Reasoning
Manage episode 483852242 series 3650274
In this episode, I talk about the current state of public school funding in Texas, the implications of school voucher programs, and why liberal arts education is so important for developing moral reasoning. I highlight the challenges our public schools are facing because of funding cuts and explain how voucher programs could further undermine the quality of education. I also make the case for a classical education approach that emphasizes critical thinking, empathy, and moral reasoning because I believe education should be about forming well-rounded individuals, not just preparing students for the workforce.
