2018 Workshop Talk | 1:00:00 | K-6
Summary
Classically, one might argue that early childhood students learn better at home with their families than they do in a traditional classroom setting. The groundwork for a strong classical education can be successful by allowing children five and under plenty of free time, time reading quality literature, listening to classical music, cooking and crafts. However, in today’s society it is becoming the norm that both parents are working. In light of this, how does a classical teacher keep to the fundamentals of a classical education without surrendering to the culture?
