Homeschool Better Together with Pam Barnhill
YMB #86 Liberal Arts in the Age of Stem: A Conversation with Martin Cothran
Everyone knows that we should focus our educational efforts on teaching kids skills they can actually use in real life, right? Except maybe that is not the best path to the most practical education after all. Yes, a classical education can build virtue, but it also creates the best employees for the modern world.
Need convincing? Then you are going to enjoy this interview with Martin Cothran of Memoria Press. You may learn something new about the term "liberal arts" and might just walk away convinced that STEM is not necessarily where we should focus. Enjoy!
