Quixote
Quixote
John Doyle
Like Cervantes hero, we will verbally tilt at windmills of our world. Education, race, politics, economic inequity, and our human worth will all be examined from a perspective steeped in philosophy, and literature, embracing empathy and avoiding partisanship. These short episodes will hopefully let us, blinded by our faith in humanity and the ideas of great thinkers, create aporia or at least redirect the challenging divisive conversations plaguing us today.

The classroom need to be more than a job for the teacher and a burden for the student.
