(The Federalist)—From the time I started my adventure in homeschooling over a decade ago, I have wanted to collect some of the most inspiring words spoken by American leaders since our founding — eloquent and soaring words, rooted in the wisdom of the ages. The desire emerged from reading those great words of American history aloud with my daughter, contrasting them with the words we heard daily all around us, and realizing that something priceless had been lost.
American education, not long ago the envy of the world, has become a corrupt, bloated, and failed institution. This has been happening for over a century and there is no sign of recovery. The loss can be summed up in one sentence: We have lost our words. We no longer read the greatest spoken and written words of all time in the fields of history, literature, poetry, philosophy, and politics, and so we have lost the understanding of words that our ancestors lived by. More critically, however, we have lost what those words have represented.
So what can we do? I made the choice to homeschool, yet I felt less than qualified. I had been accepted into a master’s degree program at Stanford, where I assumed that what I learned would better fit me to teach. But soon I learned what I ought to have seen earlier: one does not need a college degree to teach children.
One day while I was at Stanford, my daughter’s kung fu teacher asked if I would be willing to teach an academic class for his kung fu students. I happily agreed and called the class “Language & Leadership.” Perhaps counterintuitively, I would simply read aloud with the children the books I was currently reading in my master’s program: Plato’s Republic, Virgil’s Aeneid, the Old and New Testament, The Analects of Confucius, and others, and we would look up and memorize all the vocabulary words the children did not yet know.
