A List of Affordable Learning Resources for Students in Middle School and High School. 

Recently, we published an article that touched on the current plight of the public and nonpublic school system in the United States.

As promised, here is a shortlist of viable options for improving the education of the next generation of world leaders. This list includes resources to fill in the gap of Social Emotional Learning experienced by most students, as well as core learning subjects such as English, History, Mathematics and Science.

This issue of insufficiency, inaccuracy and possible lack of fundamental teaching in nonpublic and religious schooling is nothing new. For years, parents, local school authorities and departments of education have been in constant exchange on the matter of regulating the instructional materials of nonpublic schooling for children.

Who is Going to Save Humanities?

One might suggest that it is merely optics, or poor marketing that is to be held accountable for the way the study of the liberal arts and humanities is viewed today. For some reason, fewer people seem eager to perceive the value of these fields than ever before, or at least since in the last 20 years or so. Then again, the world has changed a lot in the last 20 years.
