Often, logic is one of those subjects \u2014 perhaps along with Latin and philosophy \u2014 that many associate with an outdated model of education or, if studied today, maybe even with a hint of pretension. As a homeschooling family, is it really necessary for your child to learn logic?<\/p>\n<p>We believe the answer is an emphatic, \u201cYes!\u201d In this post, we\u2019ll cover the many benefits of learning logic \u2014 from developing critical thinking and decision-making skills to building good character \u2014 as well as several pieces of advice for teaching your student logic in your home school. \u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Formal vs. Informal Logic<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Formal logic has been called \u2018math with words.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Leigh Bortins, <em>The Question<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Before diving into three learning outcomes that answer why we should study logic, it\u2019s important to make a quick note on the term <em>logic<\/em> used in this post. Generally, the study of logic is categorized into informal and formal logic. The type of logic we encourage families to study is formal logic \u2014 often referred to as traditional logic \u2014 which deals with <em>forms<\/em> of reasoning. As Classical Conversations founder, Leigh Bortins, describes in her book <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/products\/as051\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Question<\/em><\/a>, \u201cFormal logic has been called \u2018math with words.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Why Study Logic? 3 Learning Outcomes of Formal Logic<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Logic studies enable us to experience the world in richer, more meaningful ways; in short, logic studies make us free.\u201d \u2013 Leigh Bortins, <em>The Question<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Studying logic is something everybody should do. This includes both homeschool students <em>and <\/em>parents<u>.<\/u> In short, there are three reasons why we should learn logic: it encourages clear thinking, empowers us to be truly in the image of God, and builds good character.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Studying Logic Develops Critical Thinking Skills<\/h3>\n<p>Studying logic involves <strong>learning the skills of critical thinking<\/strong>. As you and your student analyze sound reasoning through studying arguments, syllogisms, and fallacies, you\u2019ll develop a sort of \u201ctruth compass.\u201d In other words, you\u2019ll be able to apply these reasoning skills to recognize truth from falsehood, whether that\u2019s in an advertisement, a political campaign, a persuasive speech, a news article, or a social media post.<\/p>\n<p>These same critical thinking skills practiced in logic can also be applied to sound decision-making, a skill every parent wants their child to develop. Finally, it\u2019s important to study logic to become an effective communicator. After all, logic is also the backbone necessary for crafting compelling arguments in speech and writing that point others toward truth.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2. Studying Logic Empowers Us to be Truly in the Image of God<\/h3>\n<p>As Christians, <strong>the God we worship is a God of form<\/strong>. Just look in Genesis, Chapter 1. The universe God created is the ultimate example of order, structure, and form.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, we too create forms, from math and science formulas to sentence forms to logical arguments. By using forms to indicate order from disorder and truth from uncertainty, we establish ourselves as made in the image of God.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Studying Logic Builds Good Character<\/h3>\n<p>For many parents and students, studying logic isn\u2019t easy. Often, along with learning logic come times of frustration and befuddlement. Still, the goal of learning logic is to become better thinkers, which is a worthwhile end to strive toward no matter how strenuous the journey may become. Following through with your study of logic will empower you and your student with <strong>confidence in your abilities<\/strong> to learn something challenging and use critical thinking skills to make sound judgments and arrive at the truth in other areas of life.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Teach Logic: 3 Pieces of Advice for the Homeschool Parent<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Logic trains the brain to think clearly about all subjects by ordering information into usable form. This is a skill we all need to acquire.\u201d \u2013 Leigh Bortins, <em>The Question<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Convinced why your student should learn logic? Although the learning outcomes of studying logic are noble and inspiring, many parents struggle when it comes to actually <strong>teaching<\/strong> the subject. With its forms, structure, and objectivity, logic can appear intimidating. Hopefully, these three pieces of advice will help and encourage you to take on the worthy task of homeschooling your child in logic!<\/p>\n<h3>1. Stay Persistent!<\/h3>\n<p>Although this may not be what you want to hear, all difficult subjects \u2014 logic included \u2014 require <strong>persistence<\/strong> and <strong>hard work<\/strong>. Constantly remind yourself that the end goal of your student learning logic is to equip them with the skills to think critically. So, be persistent in teaching your student logic. In time, your student will learn to apply critical thinking skills to make good decisions and to detect truth from falsehood in everyday situations and encounters. It\u2019s worth every difficult moment to see these fruits of your labor!<\/p>\n<p>Times <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/blog\/what-to-do-when-homeschooling-is-hard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when homeschooling is hard<\/a> are a natural part of this journey. Still, that doesn\u2019t mean you have to go at it alone. Find other homeschool parents whom you can rely on for support, guidance, and advice in teaching your child logic, whether in your Classical Conversations <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversations.com\/community-search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">local community<\/a>, a homeschool co-op, or elsewhere. Homeschooling in isolation is never a good idea!<\/p>\n<h3>2. Spend Time Learning the Basics of Logic<\/h3>\n<p>The road to becoming a skilled logician begins with an understanding of the <strong>grammar<\/strong> \u2014 or foundational knowledge \u2014 of the subject. Make sure to spend time with your student repeating the basics of logic over and over before moving on to complex problems and concepts.<\/p>\n<p>What are these foundations of logic? Well, there are logic vocabulary terms and definitions to commit to memory, like <em>argument<\/em>, <em>syllogism<\/em>, <em>conclusion<\/em>, <em>major<\/em> <em>premise<\/em>, <em>minor<\/em> <em>premise<\/em>, and <em>fallacy<\/em>. In addition, you and your student should understand the principles of logic, or \u201chow logic works.\u201d That is, spend time studying the basic rules and procedures associated with clear thinking and reasoning.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on to advanced exercises and ideas before establishing a firm foundation will only lead to discouragement with this subject. For instance, don\u2019t feel guilty if you have to spend several more weeks studying the basics of logic. In the end, this actually might end up saving you time, not to mention a good deal of frustration!<\/p>\n<h3>3. Apply Logic to Other Subjects<\/h3>\n<p>One of the tenets of classical education is the idea that <strong>all subjects are interconnected<\/strong>. Thus, subjects shouldn\u2019t be studied as if they are islands, unrelated to each other.<\/p>\n<p>A great benefit of learning logic is that it trains students to think clearly in all subjects by helping them organize, make connections, and draw conclusions about all types of information. So, encourage your student to utilize what they are learning in their study of logic to understand why Hester Prynne made the decisions she did in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/products\/1s007?_pos=1&amp;_sid=24fa2edb5&amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Scarlett Letter<\/a> <\/em>or what events motivated American colonialists to wage war against England in the American Revolution.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that the skills of logic are applicable to all areas of life, and not just if your student goes on to study math or computer science in college. From literature and art to history and science, logic can be used everywhere. Encouraging your student to use logical reasoning in their other subjects will show them that logic is useful and an important skill to master.<\/p>\n<h2>The Beauty of Learning Formal Logic<\/h2>\n<p>Sure, learning and teaching formal logic can be intimidating. But still, there\u2019s something equally attractive about the study of logic. Arriving at objective truth, knowing that which can be known, making good decisions \u2014 these are beautiful goals that make the study of logic well worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re on the search for a homeschool logic curriculum, consider our <a href=\"https:\/\/classicalconversationsbooks.com\/search?q=traditional+logic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Traditional Logic<\/a> series designed to make homeschooling logic doable with daily practice exercises to help your student develop powerful critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n<p>Not yet a Classical Conversations member and interested in our community-based approach to homeschooling?
