Classical Education Changed My Life—and Formed My Children
Written By: Roy Maynard
“Trainwreck” isn’t a bad description of my academic career. Bored, more interested in reading real books than textbooks, not caring about the things I was expected to in junior high and high school—athletics and social status—I ignored assignments, skipped classes and eventually dropped out. I got nothing from Mesquite High School, and to be fair, MHS got even less from me.
But just a few years later, with a GED and college (only slightly more successful), I found myself writing an article on something “new” called classical education. What I saw on the campuses I visited changed the course of my life—and the lives of the children I didn’t even have yet.
