The demand for training in a particular trade has faded with the industrial age, rendering our current educational structure obsolete. Instead the need for employees who can "think outside the box" pervades our culture. To succeed students need an education that equips them to recognize and understand current trends and to gain the ability to communicate clearly and persuasively. Authors Robert Littlejohn and Charles T. Evans believe that is best accomplished by beginning with the end of our educational endeavor in view. These experienced educators offer a hope-filled work that blends an apologetic for the Liberal Arts tradition, historical review of education, and how-to manual. This book also includes a look at worldviews and the Liberal Arts, a curriculum overview, a message specifically to parents, and a practical look at governance and administrative issues.
