"For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain." -DLS, "Lost Tools of Learning." This episode offers an introduction to Sayers's sometimes strong, sometimes whimsical, sometimes comical views on education. If the phrase "Lost Tools of Learning" is as familiar as mother's milk to you,  you'll particularly enjoy this discussion, if only to understand the context of this foundational essay. If you don't know what the lost tools are, much less how to find them, then this is the episode is also for you. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lindsey-scholl/message
