  • Book recs alone worth the listen

    I didn’t arrive to this podcast for book recommendations but I certainly ended up subscribing for them. Listening to adults speaking intelligently and calmly these days feels almost alien. Keep up the good work!

  • Great, would love more on special needs

    Great resource on classical education. I enjoy listening to you guys! I would like to request more episodes on teaching classical education to children with special needs. I know you have the book Simply Classical, which I am reading and finding very helpful, but I would love to hear more podcasts about this!

  • Best Classical Home Education Explained

    I started listening to this podcast after using Memoria Press homeschool curriculum. I thought I had a decent understanding of Classical education (we had been planning to send my kids to a University Model Classical Christian school) but it turns out I only had an understanding of neo-classical / the trivium. This podcast had been extremely helpful in finally grasping both the what and why of classical education. Each week something new clicks! Thank you for this podcast!

I was really excited to listen to it, however, the guest, Tanya, barely got to talk at all. The hosts would ask her a question and then answer it for her. I was interested in what she had to say because s... more

  • Exposed!

    I would never trust a curriculum company that spouts such ignorance. Not that Charlotte Mason educators need a curriculum company; maybe they’re threatened because they can’t make any money off of us. ;)

While not mandatory, illustrations can help make abstract concepts concrete and engage students. It's okay if you can't draw well; stick figures can still communicate ideas effectively.
