The Real Social Foundations: Fellowship and Appreciation of Our Western Heritage
Learning from Singapore, Not Cuba
"The Consummation of the Empire"
News, Policy, History, and Philosophy of American Education*
Welcome
"I have what passes for an education in this day and time but I am not deceived by it." Flannery O'Connor on her "social studies" major taught by liberals.
The Social Foundations of Education blog has a two-fold purpose:
1) To help facilitate research and access of the knowledge of prominent education reformers, those who buck the trends and fads of the left-wing bias of failed mainstream education.
2) To provide tools to help educate oneself in the humanities, the rich subject matter that liberals denigrate and deconstruct, thus denying many of us our rich Western and American heritage in the liberal public schools and universities.

For a Real Education
* Social Foundations is the term used in education colleges throughout the country for the fields of education theory, philosophy, history, and policy. It is a term with a long history dating back at least to the 1920s to John Dewey, the father of modern, "progressive" education. Flannery O'Connor stated, "My advice to all parents is . . . anything that Wm. Heard Kilpatrick & Jhn. Dewey say do, don't do."

This quiz was actually pretty easy this week. The answer: Panama City. I visited a friend from Virginia Tech whose father was Deputy Director of the Panama Canal commission there for two weeks back in college. Very interesting city. We got a VIP tour of the canal and got to operate the locks. The city is a lot of fun and it is a beautiful country.
