Read on a day where I’m looking for anything to distract me from being sick. Useful more for the tips than for the thesis. Surprisingly little content on day to day teaching philosophy, mostly notes on mid-80’s curriculum. Yet in a world where the perils of technology can outweigh the benefits, much of this remains relevant into the modern day.
Attributes a lot of malice to modern education that is unwarranted, my main takeaway is that the Colfax family were able to benefit from a robust library, and perhaps most importantly, parent pickiness about the materials that they used to teach their kids with. Then a little bit of kids learning how to do things on their own and the Colfax family is off to the races.
