Waterfalls of Wisdom – Classical education, is above all, systematic

“Classical education is, above all, systematic – in direct contrast to the scattered, unorganized nature of so much secondary education.  Rigorous, systematic study has two purposes.

Rigorous study develops virtue in the student: the ability to act in accordance to what one knows to be right.  Virtuous men or women can force themselves to do what they know is right, even when it runs against their inclinations.

Classical education continually asks a student to focus not on what is immediately pleasurable (another half hour of TV or computer game, for example) but on the steps needed to reach a future goal – mastery of vital academic skills.”

~ Susan Wise Bauer, The Well-Trained Mind
