#67- Montaigne's "Of the Education of Children
In 1580, Michel De\xa0Montaigne is asked by the pregnant Madame Diane de Foix on what the best way of educating a child is. In his essay \xa0"Of the Education of Children," Montaigne provides her with a glimpse into his own upbringing, advising her on how children should apply their education to their own life.\xa0
Karl warns, \u201cI don\u2019t think you should let anyone read this because they will become dissatisfied with the current state of education.\u201d
There\u2019s nothing that will squash curiosity and a love of learning more than compulsion and force. Can Montaigne's mode of education even be done in a modern classroom?\xa0
If you are struggling with how to school your children at home, Karl has some advice for you. "Keep the screens turned off, have good things in the house, and eventually they will learn stuff out of boredom."
Tune in for more advice from Montaigne, Scott, and Karl on the proper means of educating your children.\xa0
