My goal for students is that they find a passion for the pursuit of knowledge and thought. I want them to recognize that, yes, studying for a test is dumb, but studying a subject is noble and rewarding. I want my students to enjoy thinking hard and discover useful and valid conclusions. I want them to consume literature and other forms of art voraciously and intelligently. I want to live a good life myself and I want everyone to live a good life. In order to live the best life, you have to study the subject called "Classics".
