My computer logged me out and ate my first post. This will be shorter because I'm out of time.
I'm in a graduate level Social Research class, and I need to a semester long project. If I can persuade my professor in my meeting tomorrow, I would like to look at classical education in a modern, multicultural world. This is somewhat inspired by the white washing post, but also by an uptick in private/ magnet schools offering a classical education.
I'm finding good background articles on ERIC and in the media, but I still need to ask a question. Possibly something related to best practices, improved outcomes or some other data-driven angle that I can tie into classical ed and multiculturalism. Any thing stand out to those who are actively involved as classical educators as a "big question?"
Also, if I get the go ahead, does anyone know of a school or cottage school that serve a not-so-white-middle-class population that might be willing to talk to me? My cottage school was fairly diverse, but very small and was just for a couple of years.
ETA: It just occurred to me that diversity can also include some types of special needs, so that is another potential direction, but again, I'm not sure what questions need answered.
Thanks!
