Life In Junior High - Part 2
Lisa VanDamme January 27, 2007
Last week, I contrasted the cliché junior high classroom—of raucous teenagers throwing spitballs, passing love notes, and giggling at lewd jokes—with a VanDamme Academy junior high classroom—of young adults in raptures over Cyrano de Bergerac. How we produce students with such maturity and enthusiasm for learning is something I hope…

CORRECTED
TOS Admin January 25, 2007
John Lewis on the Kit Jarrell Show On Friday, February 2, at 10:00 PM EST, TOS contributing editor John Lewis will be interviewed on the Kit Jarrell Show. The subject is his most recent TOS article, "'No Substitute for Victory': The Defeat of Islamic Totalitarianism." Tune in for what is…

Life In Junior High
Lisa VanDamme January 23, 2007
When I tell people that I teach literature to junior high students, the response is nearly universal: an expression of profound sympathy. Teaching junior high is regarded as a martyr's job, to be taken on only by those with such a selfless commitment to children and education that they are…

Writing and Understanding
Lisa VanDamme January 10, 2007
Several weeks ago, in my article "Pattern Recognition vs. Real Understanding," I stressed the crucial connection between writing and understanding: For the student to write explanations, in complete sentences, about every subject—whether history, literature, grammar, math, or anything else—requires that he have a true understanding of the concepts at hand.…

Letter from TOS Reader Burgess Laughlin
TOS Admin January 9, 2007
To the Editor: Various TOS articles by Dr. John Lewis have helped me identify the essential nature of the current "War on Terrorism." One shouldn't be surprised that an entity's actions follow from the entity's nature. As a political entity, the USA is a welfare state. It is taking various…

'No Substitute for Victory': Replies to Criticisms
John David Lewis January 8, 2007
Regarding my article "No Substitute for Victory": The Defeat of Islamic Totalitarianism in The Objective Standard, readers have brought up several questions that I'd like to answer. Among them are two of great importance: (1) Isn't the enemy stateless, i.e., without the kind of centralized political state that controlled Japan?…

Pedagogically Correct
Lisa VanDamme January 4, 2007
Many people understand that education is in desperate need of reform, but few recognize how radical the reform must be. What is needed is not a bigger education budget, a stronger teacher's union, smaller class sizes, or more rigorous testing procedures. But neither is the solution simply a renewed spirit…

The Imperative of Lecturing
Lisa VanDamme January 4, 2007
Every class in elementary and junior high school should be in a lecture format. The teacher must be an authority on the subject, he must grasp its basic purpose, he must carefully define the knowledge to be conveyed by reference to that purpose, and he must present that knowledge in…

America's Sanction of its Enemies
John David Lewis January 3, 2007
On March 1, 1973, eight Palestinian Black September killers stormed the Saudi Arabian Embassy in Khartoum during a send-off party for American Charges d'Affairs George C. Moore. They took Moore, U.S. Ambassador Cleo A. Noel, Jr., Belgian Charges d'Affairs Guy Eid, and two other diplomats hostage. They demanded the release…

Dianne Durante's New Blog
TOS Admin December 28, 2006
TOS contributor Dianne Durante has started a new author's blog for her forthcoming book, Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan. From her first post: For the next two months (through February 2007) I plan to post a paragraph or two every day about one of the OMOM essays: what's covered in [essay…

Regarding: 'Bush's March to the (Mediterranean) Sea,' by Patrick Poole
John David Lewis December 14, 2006
This piece draws on Bevin Alexander's analysis of Confederate Civil War General Stonewall Jackson's plan to march north against Washington, D.C. Rather than remain tied down before Union armies in Virginia, Jackson wanted to take the war to his enemy's capital. Southern leaders, being unable to think more broadly than…

Pattern Recognition vs. Real Understanding
Lisa VanDamme December 14, 2006
Every year, when I give my first test in a grammar or literature class, some new student asks me whether the test will be multiple choice. Every year, I look him in the eye and say: "I can assure you that you will never, in any class, under any circumstances,…

The Homework Lie: Part 2
Lisa VanDamme December 6, 2006
It is not surprising that our no-homework policy does wonders for parents' relationships with their children. I will never forget when a parent sat at my desk one day and, told me, with tears in his eyes: "You have given back our family life." But, you might ask, how do…

The Homework Lie
Lisa VanDamme December 5, 2006
Every year, dozens of parents sit at my desk and describe to me the intense frustration they feel as they watch their children churned through the public schools. One of the refrains of their complaints: endless homework. And no wonder: The work itself is largely pointless. Students must complete countless…

Open Letter to Republicans
John David Lewis December 4, 2006
There are two things that all Republicans know today: that you lost the mid-term election, and that the loss was a repudiation of President Bush's policies. What you must now figure out is why. Why did Americans vote as they did? What specific policies did they reject? The answer you…
