2021 Workshop Talk | 1:01:15 | Academics & Curriculum, Culture & Faith, Philosophy, Virtue, Character, Discipline
Summary
Christian teachers are uniquely fit to answer the questions raised in “The Social Dilemma” documentary, What is Truth, and where is it? But what good is that if our students don’t care? Scripture teaches, and experience confirms, that our students’ passion for Truth is disordered, a problem exacerbated by the introduction of an invasive species (the smartphone) into their cultural ecosystem. The law of the learner (“attending with interest”) must have Truth as its end. We must cultivate a love for Truth as the means to that end. But is this even possible? If so, how?
