Laurie Bluedorn of Trivium Pursuit
Veteran homeschoolers have ploughed the field of curriculum and watered the seeds of styles. What have grown up in those furrows are straight paths (albeit at times bumpy) to education. One field may produce textbooks, while another field produces living books. No single crop gathered will be to everyones liking. Many will choose to pick from this field and glean from that field to make a balanced diet of learning.
Classical education can incorporate much of the produce harvested. Instead of just teaching that there is food grown for eating and to be enjoyed, it also teaches that the food is a source of nutrition. A classical education that includes the Trivium teaches the former as well as that food has a purpose and Someone with a purpose created it.
Laurie Bluedorn shares her Similarities and Differences in classical education.
