Classical Education...

“Because the classical educator believes in a real world that gives up ordered knowledge of itself, he teaches the student how to get that knowledge. The seven liberal arts were quite deliberately developed for precisely that reason. Believing that we can know truth, and believing that truth sets us free, classical educators spent thousands of years refining the tools of truth-seeking that were used from the beginning of time, but were first codified by Aristotle."

- Andrew Kern, in "What is the Difference Between Classical and Conventional Education”

Patterns and information from JM Ashville through Indestructibles available below and through the link provided.

The Highly Contagious Coronavirus (COVID19)

In December of 2019, news began coming in that China was being overrun with the highly contagious coronavirus (COVID19).  This prompted overseas customers to begin shopping for protection from the airborne illness; however, “the sudden increase in demand for “Personal Protective Equipment” (PPE) and the interrupted supply lines in China led to a critical shortage of small particle filtering face masks (N-95s) and fitted rectangular sneeze guards (surgical masks)” (Indestructibles).




By February 2020, the coronavirus (COVID19) was rapidly spreading throughout the world, thus bringing panic to North America. 

By March 2020, when President Trump closed foreign airline travel into the United States, online shopping for masks to protect against this dangerous disease soared even higher, resulting in price gouging in various areas (toilet paper, masks, hand sanitizer, disinfectant spray, disinfection wipes, as well as basic food staples).
