The purpose of this blog
The title of this blog expresses a desire for education to return to its fundamental role of the transmission of culture. Serious education is the learning of that which is not trivial. Education is the root of all that is good and true and educators today - as in times past - are charged with acting as a fundamental link in the chain of learning.
This blog will offer its readers a range of perspectives on the key issues facing education today and indicate sources, both print and electronic, where these key issues are explored in a shared scholarly atmosphere.
A few housekeeping matters
Postings will be made at regular intervals. These postings will remain focussed primarily on educational matters and not act as a forum for the personal hobby horses of the writer. Postings will be of moderate length.
