“In an important sense, every culture is the externalization of some religion. And every school exists to perpetuate and pass on that culture. As we look around at the great squirrel-cage run we call modernity, we see that most of us as moderns belong to a religion called Getting Ahead. In contrast to this attitude, Jesus issued a wonderful invitation: ‘Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls’ (Matt. 11:29). True education reform begins in rest; it begins with grace. We cannot hope to be effective in this work unless we get the Gospel straight and, having gotten it straight, rest in the promises given. Contrary to the opinions of our adversaries, education is not a savior. But it can be saved” (The Case for Classical Christian Education, p. 30).
