Oh, None taken, MM.
I think that the experience that you get is what you put into it. I hear about the kind of things that go on in classrooms at the community college and I am thankful that I am not there.
I love the fact that we are taught all things with a Christian worldview- from literature to communication. One of our textbooks had an entire chapter on the evolution factors involved in nonverbal communication. Instead of glossing over it, we got into a class discussion. We wrote about it and hashed out some of thoughts on evolution in general.
in Art appreciation we discussed Christian influence on art. In government classes, we looked at God's view of politics according to scripture- does God support democracy? (an argument can be made that he does not, though I do not support that).
We have studied the works of John Locke, Shakespeare, St.Augustine, Plato, C.S. Lewis and Francis Schaeffer. We have looked at the Magna Carta, The Constitution, Scripture (in every class), and the Federalist Papers. We have discussed worldviews and leadership, Christian Education and homeschooling. We have talked about Kingdom living and reconstructionism. We have discussed capitalism vs a social Gospel.
In some ways its like AFF but with required reading and tests
. We have cool teachers like Renda and Hoovie and some not so cool teachers like....
There are students that write endlessly (like myself) and some that always make it short and sweet. When we have Wimba Classes (an online voice class) there are people who talk a lot (like me) and those who don't say much at all... I love it and I would not trade my education for anything.
