In this episode, Nathan is joined by Robert Bortins, the CEO of Classical Conversations. They discuss the effects of government funding on education, highlighting how such interventions lead to increased costs and decreased quality.
“And so that’s one of the differences at classical education or classical Christian education is we put God at the center of education instead of the students. You know, we’re not a student-centric curriculum. We’re a God-centric curriculum, and we want to help kids to, you know, look up into the sky and think about their Creator and not looking down so much on His creation.” – Robert Bortins
They warn against the dangers of government involvement in Christian education and explore how it undermines the role of faith in education.
“Parents, they do a great job educating their kids and they know their kids better. And so it just makes sense that, yeah, it makes sense that our system that we have in our country is going down because it’s a bad design. It’s a flawed design and it’s getting, the design is getting worse, not better with all these fixes so-called.” – Nathan Pierce
