Classical Education "For the Least of These"

I knew there was a reason God put us here in the city. I don't know why. I've avoided the public schools like the plague, until I began volunteering there. I mentioned that I don't think the school is "bad" per se, but parents don't appear to be as involved. I realized that the second-graders my little girl plays with know the latest rap stars but were never told nursery rhymes.

It's a done deal. I'm going back to Alabama for my master's in education. My passion is Classical Christian education in particular. My kids have been involved in Classical Christian homeschooling, and it is by and large people like us -- highly educated parents who want a college-preparatory, literature based education. Folks, this stuff works.

In my community, some Classical educators are putting their money where their mouths are. FREE Classical Christian education for inner city children in Bessemer, Alabama. Please go see the video and support them.
