Moral Relativism and the Crisis of Contemporary Edu.
I entered graduate school to study English literature in the late 1980s, eventually receiving a Ph.D. in Ren-aissance literature, and have been a professional academic ever since.
I have reached that point in life where I am sufficiently wizened — and sufficiently jaded — to be allowed the luxury of griping about how much tougher it was growing up for my generation.
As a life-long teacher, I might also be granted indulgence if I grumble about how little my college students actually know compared to what I learned. And although there is as much justice as exaggeration in these observations, the thing that never ceases to amaze me is how morally stunted and ethically underdeveloped our students are, how utterly unable to make even obvious moral distinctions, and how completely uninterested in differentiating between virtue and vice.
Home schooling and the computer: a match made in heaven?
In many ways, yes, but with a couple of caveats. Take the recent debate over a Herndon, Virginia-based provider of full-time public virtual schools called K12 Inc. (Link), with its various nationwide components, such as Virginia Virtual Academy (http://www.k12.com/vava), Florida Virtual School (http://www.flvs.net/Cached - Similar) and Massachusetts Virtual Academy (http://www.k12.com/mava).
These are always incorporated into one of the states’ official public school districts. Thus, the twist on K12 Inc. (http://www.k12.com/): the word public, meaning tax-supported, and therefore subject to government oversight, with all the various “strings” and biases that go along with the federal government’s schools.
250,000+ students in grades K-12 attend classes online in America. Watch this news story that shows how the popularity of online schooling is growing rapidly.
