This is probably just the first of a few posts about the Veritas Academy Teacher Training Conference I attended last week in PA. Was anyone else from homeschoolblogger there?
First, Doug and Nancy Wilson were the primary guest speakers and though I have always liked their writings I have a much higher opinion of them after hearing them speak. Their speech is full of grace, mercy, and love (some of you may be surprised?). They stress that your children should know these in abundance, and that education and family life should be full of fun and JOY.
The conference was certainly directed toward those who are committed to Christian Classical Education and was rich and deep in its training. It was full of solid philosophical and worldview training and also provided workshops for implementing various subjects, mainly based on Veritas Press materials.
It was pretty powerful to be hit with how important the education of our children is not only for their sakes but for our grandkids and their grandkids! I am still processing it all.
More to come . . .
