Recovering the Education of the Western Tradition: An Interview with Dr. Robert Woods

This is episode 4 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.

The state of higher education has been adrift since the 1960s, and this drift from a truly liberal education to indoctrination for the ideological agendas of the elite has taken our K-12 schools with it. As a matter of fact, the public schools (as well as many "woke" private and prep schools) are little more than the "reeducation camps" so many conspiracists are shouting about today.

The solution to the education crisis is not to throw more money at it. The solution is creating alternative paths to teaching and learning. In this episode, Dr. Robert Woods joins us to discuss the dangers of modern education (a.k.a indoctrination), the benefits of the education of the Western Tradition, and the apprenticeship model model of education--the Medieval model of seeking out the scholars and studying with that person best suited for the work.

We further discuss how to get a great education without spending a fortune on a degree and what parents should know about accreditation.
