The "seven liberal arts" are essentially the subjects taught in a classical education curriculum. This curriculum was particularly popular during the Medieval period, and was considered the curriculum that should be taught to a free man.
These were:
-Grammar
-Rhetoric
-Logic
-Arithmetic
-Geometry
-Music, Harmonics, or Tuning Theory
-Astronomy and Cosmology
Grammar, rhetoric, and logic were part of the "artes sermocinales", or the science of language.
Arithmetic, geometry, musics, harmonics, or tuning theory, astronomy and cosmology, were part of the "artes reales", or the scientific-mathematical discipline.
The seven liberal arts are grammar, logic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. These were the foundational subjects of education in ancient Greece and Rome, focusing on developing critical thinking and reasoning skills.
The trivium is the foundation of a classical liberal arts education and consists of three subjects: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Grammar focuses on language and its rules, logic emphasizes reasoning and critical thinking skills, and rhetoric teaches persuasive communication. Together, these subjects were traditionally seen as essential for developing a well-rounded education.
Renaissance humanists focused on a well-rounded education that included the study of classical texts, languages, history, literature, philosophy, and arts. They believed in the importance of developing critical thinking skills, moral character, and a deep understanding of the world. This emphasis on humanism and the liberal arts helped shape education during the Renaissance period.
There is no definitive percentage as political affiliation among teachers can vary. However, surveys suggest that a higher percentage of teachers identify as liberal compared to the general population.
Progressive.
In the 1840s, teachers in the United States typically followed a classical curriculum focused on Latin, Greek, literature, history, and philosophy. This curriculum emphasized a broad, liberal arts education designed to cultivate well-rounded individuals with a strong foundation in the humanities. Mathematics and sciences were also taught but were not as prominent as the classical subjects.

Liberal Arts
Technically, yes. But liberal arts is when a student tries out all arts before choosing a major. For example: When I started at my arts school, I took liberal arts. After taking liberal for a semester, I decided dance was the right major for me, so I went from liberal arts, to immersion dance.
