Exploring the Classical Model of Education and the Importance of Independent Thought

The classical model of education includes stages such as grammar, logic, and rhetoric to equip children with memorization skills and the ability to articulate logical defenses. It is crucial to let children explore and form their own beliefs independently, especially regarding matters of faith. Encouraging them to ask difficult questions and engage in logical discussions can help them synthesize knowledge effectively. By focusing on teaching how to think rather than what to think, children can develop critical thinking skills and learn to process information independently.
