At the university level, whether via college or homeschooling, a good education develops the intellectual, emotional, and social muscles. One is moulded into a person who uses tools, not crutches; who accepts responsibility rather than accepting stories of victimhood; and who recognises that human flourishing happens in communities, not in isolation.

Health Brownstone Institute, Gigi Foster, Michael Baker, Paul Frijters It has been highly entertaining and heartening to watch the reforms embarked upon by Team Trump this past month, although not for the minority that voted for his opponent who has maintained a steady rage on social and legacy media since things actually started getting done.
