    Is Classical Education Too Hard? Too Rigid? Too Old-Fashioned?

    In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we discuss the “how” behind classical education. Why do we emphasize memorization, repetition, teacher-led classrooms, and rigorous books? Are these methods outdated, or are they essential to meaningful learning? We explore the purpose behind what we do, respond to common criticisms, and discuss how structure, discussion, discipline, and intellectual formation work together to shape not just knowledgeable students, but thoughtful and virtuous human beings.

    What Actually Makes an Education “Classical”?

    In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we ask a foundational question: What actually makes an education “classical”? Is classical education simply a collection of methods and old books, or are there essential pillars that cannot be removed? The Core Four discuss Latin, literature, moral formation, the Western tradition, and why classical education is more than a modern curriculum with classical decorations added on. Join us as we explore what belongs at the center of a truly classical education. *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  "Galahad and the Grail" Malcom Guite (Martin) "The Last of the Mohicans" James Fenimore Cooper (Martin) "Smiling Through the Cultural Catastrophe" Jeffery Hart (Martin) "The Sea Hawk" Rafael Sabatini (Paul) "Mary Poppins" Pamela Lyndon Travers (Paul) "The Confederacy of Dunces" John Kennedy Toole (Paul) "A Tale of Two Cities" Charles Dickens (Tanya) "Fountains of Silence" Ruta Sepetys (Jessica)

    The Case for Reading Widely | Balance Your Book Diet

    In this episode of Classical Et Cetera we consider what it means to read well. Is it enough to simply read what we enjoy, or should we aim for something more? We discuss the idea of a “reading diet” and the importance of variety—balancing fiction, philosophy, theology, and more. Along the way, we reflect on how different kinds of books shape us, and why a broader reading life can deepen both understanding and enjoyment. Reading widely isn’t a rule, but it may be the key to a richer intellectual life.   *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  "The Confederacy of Dunces" John Kennedy Toole (Paul) "Why Literature Still Matters" Jason Baxter (Martin) "Christian Paideia" Brian Welter (Martin) "The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading" Doug Lemov (Martin) "Theo of Golden" Allen Levi (Tanya) "Mouse House" Rumer Godden (Tanya) "Boxcar Children" Gertrude Chandler Warner (Tanya) "The Sea Hawk" Rafael Sabatini (Tanya) "The Correspondent" Virginia Evans (Jessica)

    They Abridged THAT Classic Book?

    In this episode of Classical Et Cetera we tackle a common question: should students read abridged classics? Are they helpful, or do they take away from the original work? From children’s retellings to difficult texts, we explore when abridged books can serve a purpose and when they should be set aside. The answer isn’t simple, but one principle remains: the original always matters. What We're Reading from This Episode: "Momo" Michael Ende (Martin) "The Black Wolf" Louise Penny (Tanya) "He Leadeth Me" Walter Ciszek (Tanya) "The Christian Idea, Volume 1" W. Brian Welter (Paul)

    The Worst Books We’ve Ever Read

    In this episode of _Classical Et Cetera_ we take on a risky topic: the worst books we’ve ever read. From beloved classics to modern favorites, we ask what truly makes a book bad. Is it poor writing, or something deeper? Can a beautifully written book still lead readers astray? Along the way, we discuss children’s literature, modern novels, and the importance of discernment in reading. Not every popular book is worth your time, and some may be worth avoiding altogether. *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  "The Black Wolf" Louise Penny (Tanya) "He Leadeth Me" Walter Ciszek (Tanya) "Mo Mo" Michael Ende (Martin) "Remarkably Bright Creatures" Shelby Van Pelt (Jessica)
