Mere Liberty

I've really enjoyed this course, and I've learned so much. It's exciting because I can use these skills in really, any situation of life. The seminars were so much fun, and honestly, I'm sad that this is the last lesson. But a good thing about learning something while you're younger is that it will stick in your mind. And also you can always re-learn anything. Thank you miss Kerry, for teaching me how to ask critical thinking questions and much more!

The Socratic method of questioning is something your neighborhood school will not teach you. This technique has opened my mind to new ideas or perspectives that I have never considered before. I was taught the crucial ways to process information and question every bit of what was presented.

Our kids are participating in the current semester and it has opened up so many opportunities for discussion on big topics, but also assisting the entire family with learning skills to even have that discussion. As well, they are learning to have these discussions with peers from different backgrounds, hundreds of miles away. This is really a unique experience that isn’t taught anymore, but everyone can benefit from, young and old. I would like to encourage everyone to look into these seminars for learning how to have discussions while also learning good economic and philosophical concepts.

“We have been so thankful to find Kerry Baldwin’s zoom class. Learning about the Socratic method while reading the Tuttle Twins books every week has really been fun and helped not only my teenager but the whole family expand our knowledge of Liberty themed topics and also learn effective ways of communicating with others that have differing ideas. Creating a dialogue where both participants exhibit mutual respect for each other and seeking to truly understand where the other person is coming from is a skill we all need to develop more, especially in today’s reactive social environment. Asking thoughtful questions, pausing to really listen, is an invaluable skill I am grateful to be cultivating in my son with Kerry’s help. I absolutely recommend this class for middle school, high school, and any adult wanting to understand the concepts discussed within this course. I am positive it will pay dividends for many years to come. We will most likely take it again soon!”
