On this episode of Anchored, Arooba is joined by David Arndt, a tutor in the integral program of Liberal Arts at Saint Mary's College. David talks about his experience attending public school, and how at a very early age he knew that there was something fundamentally wrong with the way students were taught. He discusses his mother's interest in classical books, and how it sparked his own journey into the world of Liberal Arts. David expresses the timelessness of classical books and says that it is important for students to understand how good books can change their life. He also shares his thoughts on what Liberal Education has lost over time.
