Difficulties, Not Problems
 
 

"In the name of progress and method, innovation and statistical research, educationists have persuaded the world that teaching is a set of complex problems to be solved.

"It is no such thing.
 
"It is a series of difficulties [teaching students skills and knowledge they don't already know is often difficult].
 
"They recur endlessly and have to be met; there is no solution--which means also that there is no mystery.
 
"Teaching is an art, and an art, though it has a variety of practical devices to choose from, cannot be reduced to a science."
 
-Jacques Barzun, Begin Here: The Forgotten Conditions of Teaching and Learning

Description

Oliver DeMille draws from intensive study of the Founding generation to identify five defining ideals of Americanism:

  1. Freedom
  2. Georgics
  3. Providence
  4. Liber
  5. Public Virtue

Although the first, freedom, has not yet been fully lost, it is steadily declining because of the loss of the other four. These four ideals permeated early American society but have largely been forgotten.
