Part 2: Every movement has a history, a moment in time where visionaries and pioneers stepped out and refused to part of the status quo. Before the Industrial Era, homeschooling was the common modality of the masses. But for over 150 years, children were pulled from the home, educated en masse, and treated as cogs in a machine. That was, until 1978, when across the US, pockets of "family schools" suddenly began popping up, unbeknownst to one another. One such "family schooler," Colonel Ray Moore, tells his story on part one of this show. He is considered to be the founder of what we know today ..read more

America's education system is broken. We know this instinctively because we see the fruit: low academic performance. Functional illiteracy. Skyrocketing rates of anxiety and depression. An anti-faith, anti-family environment.

Are these polar extremes the only hope for the next generation? Before you make that next big academic decision, consider the impact of the educational ecosystem on our mental, relational, and spiri ..read more

"Children enter school as questions marks," Neil Postman chastised, "and they leave school as periods." What is happening in the scholastic environment to crush intrigue? Developmentalists have shown that children have what is known as epistemic curiosity, a need for understanding. But when they enter a traditional school environment, their question rate drops from one every two minutes to less than one every two hours. Modern education is not inspiring curiosity; it's undermining it, silencing it. Join Dr. Dunne on today's show as we unpack the value of a question, and learn how you can stoke ..read more

Join Dr. Lisa Dunne for an interview with John Brown graduate Dr. Marlene McMillan, author of Mountains of Deceit: How the Dialectic Process has Infected the Culture.
