About this episode
Janae Daniels discusses the historical role of faith in education and its impact on modern classrooms.
It is time we put God back. In this episode, I walk through my personal hypothesis, looking at the historical role of faith in education, the shift toward progressive ideologies, and what I see as the consequences in today's classrooms—rising illiteracy, behavioral issues, and a breakdown of values. I also share examples from vintage curricula like McGuffey Readers, along with a fascinating behavioral study that highlights the impact of moral foundations on decision-making. Whether you agree with me or not, my goal is to challenge you to think deeply about education, parenting, and what we are passing on to the next generation. And most importantly, to remind you that as homeschool parents, we have the opportunity to do something different.
