"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."-C.S. Lewis Are we "irrigating deserts" or getting lost in the "jungles"? It is no secret that our current education is in trouble. There is some disagreement about the cause of the trouble and the solutions. Our guest speakers will share their expert thoughts and opinions on the issues as well as some real solutions to ensure this incredibly vital element of our society does what it is supposed to do, prepare the next generation of well-educated citizenry.
