Would you have me believe that if the message isn't explicit, it doesn't exist? Worldview is always conveyed from teacher to student. It has less to do with what's explicitly in the content than it does with what content is chosen, and how it is framed.
Even the format of modern public schools was/is deliberately chosen to promote an agenda. An original source for much of this thinking was John Dewey, for whom the Dewey Decimal System is named. Mr. Dewey felt that the purpose of public schools was to fit children to be the good socialists of the future. Hence the one-hour single-subject classes, punctuated by bells...that format exists to condition children to changing task and venue at the signal. It's an important trait to managing a blue-collar workforce.
Also, modern public schools emphasize rote learning over critical thinking. Classes are taught in a compartmentalized way, and the student's task is to master the information and regurgitate it on demand...no analysis is required or even desired. This too fosters a manageable workforce.
That book is about a Christian education. Having said that I looked at the classes offered as a "classical education" and my kids were exposed to all of them with perhaps the excepetion of of Bible study which I don't think is a public school teachers job anyway.
This is not to say that references and education about the Bible were not to be had just because it was a public school.
You're not paying attention, Alec. I told you you'd find the information you seek in that book, and you will, if you read it. Read Gatti, too, as directed elsewhere in this thread. You may agree or disagree with both authors, but the case against modern public education will have been clearly made.
"You're not paying attention, Alec."
And I beg to differ. You can't answer the question.
Yes, worldview can and often is conveyed. If you look at a "classical education" espoused in the book you cite, it takes a world view.....unless of course you think art, philosophy, religion, leterature is confined to only the US.
