It's interesting to see how the biblical doctrine of original sin should - and does - impact fundamentally classical pedagogy. Swope makes a great point here: if we hold to the anthropological view that the child is "conceived in sin" then it follows that the pedagogy should achieve the end of the rigorous training of the child's mind; truth will not be found in the natural child but come to her from outside of her. This flies in the face of modern pedagogy.
