bethben Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I just read this by Dorothy Sayers (a founder of the modern classical education movement). I thought it was appropriate to this conversation. "It will, doubtless, be objected that to encourage young persons at the Pert age (Dialectic Stage) to browbeat, correct, and argue with their elders will render them perfectly intolerable. My answer is that children of that age are intolerable anyhow; and that their natural argumentativeness may just as well be canalized to good purpose as allowed to run away into the sands.†See? It was even true in the 1940's when she wrote this essay. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
