Should We Teach Students How or What to Think? | Classical Education vs. Modern Education

This week's Classical Et Cetera addresses an important question about traditional education: What is the difference between teaching children how to think and what to think?

Martin Cothran defends his stance that teachers in classical education prioritize teaching students how to think and what to do, contrasting it with modern and public education's focus on what to think (indoctrination) and how to do (vocational training). Our lively discussion highlights the differences in educational philosophies and curriculum that arise from comparing classical and modern teaching methods.
