Jesse and Mary both began teaching during the summer of 2009, Jesse at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, and Mary at Teleos Preparatory Academy in Phoenix, AZ. They met while working at a great books summer program together at the University of Dallas, which brought them together into the relationship they have now. Their shared love for liberal education, philosophy, and above all the pursuit of wisdom has led them through a plethora of ongoing conversations about these issues, and they've decided they need to keep track of them on paper. Here you will find their incipient reflections on education and the experience of teaching. Feel free to jump in on the discussion.

ReplyDeleteSweet. I remember hearing also that the arts are grouped according to static and dynamic: astronomy is geometry in motion and music is arithmetic in motion, but I don't know about the others. I suppose ethics is philosophy in motion!
