Possibly the most pernicious and evil consequence of the COVID tyranny has been how our kids' educations have been destroyed. From 2019 to 2022 scores across the board plummeted in the largest and fastest way ever recorded. Eight-grade math scores plummeted a whopping 8 points on average as remote learning and increasingly unsafe public school environments throttle the learning process.\xa0

Friends of this channel will know I spent decades in education, specifically Classical Christian Education, because long before COVID and when wokeness was still relegated to University campuses I, like many Christians and Patriots around the country, realized that public education was rotten and was headed in a dangerous direction. Of course, we have talked to Doug Wilson many times on this channel who has led a revival of private classical schools across the country that many families are turning to. Scores of families are also turning to homeschooling, specifically with classical Christian curriculums.\xa0

I have the pleasure of being joined today by Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations which is the largest Classical Christian homeschooling curriculum in the world! I know many families that have used classical conversations for every step of their kids' education and it is great.\xa0

Robert has become a thought leader on a biblical worldview in education and culture and is the host of a successful podcast called Refining Rhetoric. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Gutenberg College, the Classical Learning Test, and NAV Sevens Rugby. He is also a member of C12 Group, the largest professional development network of Christian CEOs and executives. Under Robert\u2019s leadership, Classical Conversations has been named a Certified Best Christian Workplace by BCW for five years in a row.\xa0

Highlights:

• \u201cUnfortunately, there are no such thing as a good public school left because the system itself is inherently corrupt.\u201d - Robert Bortins
• \u201cThe system is designed to create an obedient class who will listen to those who control it.\u201d - Robert Bortins
• \u201cWe need to create people that love learning and have the skills of learning, and that\u2019s what Classical Christian Education does.\u201d - Robert Bortins
• \u201cYou can raise and educate your children and enjoy your grandchildren or you can ignore your children and raise your grandchildren.\u201d - Robert Bortins \xa0 \xa0\xa0
