In order to embark on the project of classical education—not just for our children, but also for ourselves—we have to rediscover a much older way of thinking. For us to really enter into the project of classical education, we have to change our perspective from “I could be educated if I could go through school again” or “I could be educated if I had time to enroll in a graduate program” to “I can educate myself.” We have to think about how we will enter into classical education along with our children.
In order to get educated, we do not have to go to graduate school. We have to read, take notes on what we read, and discuss ideas with our friends.
