A Conversation about Why We Love Education (Part 2)

Katie and Shannon continue their discussion about education. They work through some practical questions like how to use a curriculum and what it might look like to "master" a subject before moving on to deeper philosophical questions like what the purpose of education ought to be, what a teacher is, and what the relationship between home and school should be. Enjoy!

We have believed that education would make our pocketbooks thicker but should do nothing to enrich our hearts.
