About

Robert W. Watson graduated in 1969 from high school in Olmsted Falls OH. Bob then enlisted in the U.S. Navy, because all the guys were dodging the draft in some manner. He served for nine years, being stationed in the Panama Canal Zone; Keflavik, Iceland; and USS AMERICA (CVA-66). Bob caught the college bug and went to Bob Jones University, Greenville SC, where he earned a BA magna cum laude in Pre-Law. In 1978, Bob went to the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer Univerity, Macon GA. After getting his JD, he received a MEd in English later at BJU.

Bob has spent many years in the classroom, both as a student and as a teacher and has taught at the high school and college levels. Courses taught include ancient, American, and British literature; rhetorical writing; and western philosophy with some history and Latin tossed into the mix. Because of his appreciation for all literature past and present, Bob has authored several literature courses as well as offering instruction in critical writing.

Bob developed a course in philosophy, Ever Learning: The History and Fundamentals of Western Philosophy, which centers on the popular book, Sophie’s World. In line with his advocacy for home education, he authored Critique of Pure Education: A Philosophy for the Christian Home Educator, which defines an objective philosophy and foundational curriculum for truly educating students.

Currently, Watson resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and is manager of Worldview Curriculum Today, a site for providing materials to home educators for high school students.
