Trained as an arts instructor (music) I have long contended that the arts are the glue for the curriculum, that without the arts we don’t have wisdom. Unfortunately, few of us are trained to see it or use it that way, even us arts instructors. I premise that every Classical instructor for every grade and subject should be required to have some minimal skill and experience across the arts and demonstrate depth in at least one.
Detailed and mind-stirring. A devoted write-up. The times today are truly “an epistemic violence of a civilisation at war against its own soul” and only beauty can save us.
Having witnessed the assault of data-driven instructional practices on my school community, I know we are in for a major shift. Even the practice of science is being ignored in favor of quantifiable data.
I think the arts will flourish when AI tutors become more prevalent. Thanks for your elegance in this piece.
Thank you.
