  • Great for parents too

    Our kid goes to a classical/Charlotte Mason school, and though we aren’t educators we are (of course) highly invested in his education. This podcast has really helped me understand better why our school does what it does in the way that it does it- and is really helping me reinforce the pedagogy that happens at school in the home. Highly recommended!
