    Introducing Margin Notes: A Book Club from Memoria Press

    Margin Notes is a new book club podcast from the team behind Classical Et Cetera! Join Paul Schaeffer and three undergraduate students—each educated with Memoria Press curriculum—as they tackle great books and why they matter. We're starting with Wendell Berry's "Fidelity," a short story about a farming community in rural Kentucky. At its heart, this story is about what it means to belong somewhere: both to a place and to a people. It's a beautiful and moving piece of writing, and it made for a great first conversation. Purchase the book right here! https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/mcp/fidelity/?utm_source=PodBean&utm_medium=MARGINNOTES&utm_campaign=001 #classicaleducation #highlandslatinschool #notredamecollege #lipscomb #bayloruniversity

    How to Approach Nudity in Classical Art with Students

    In this episode of _Classical Et Cetera_ the team discusses how classical educators and parents should approach nudity in classical art with students. What is the difference between beauty and sensuality? Why did classical artists portray the human form the way they did? And how can teachers guide students toward wisdom, dignity, and discernment when studying great works of art?   For those interested, here is Kyle Janke’s extended preface on nudity in classical art from _A Classical History of Art_ . In it, he explains the distinction between classical and modern views of the human body, beauty, and the purpose of art: https://www.memoriapress.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/A-Classical-History-of-Art-Preface.pdf/?utm_source=PodBean&utm_medium=CETC&utm_campaign=222   Learn more about Kyle Janke’s _A Classical History of Art_ course here: https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/art-and-music/a-classical-history-of-art-set/?utm_source=PodBean&utm_medium=CETC&utm_campaign=222   What We're Reading from This Episode: The Burnout Generation —Anne Helen Petersen (Paul) Galahad and the Grail —Malcolm Guite (Kyle) Lila —Marilynne Robinson (Kyle) This Is Happiness —Niall Williams (Tanya) The Fountains of Silence —Ruta Sepetys (Jessica) The Odyssey —Homer (Jessica)

    Are Homeschoolers Socialized Enough?

    In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we tackle one of the most common objections to homeschooling: socialization. Are homeschoolers actually missing out socially? Do children really need classrooms and constant peer interaction to grow into mature, capable adults? We discuss the fears many parents face, the assumptions behind modern schooling, and what truly forms children. From co-ops and friendships to peer culture and family life, we explore how homeschooling shapes social development and why “socialization” may not mean what most people think it does. Join us for a thoughtful conversation on homeschooling, community, and raising well-formed children.   *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  "Time of the Child" Niall Williams (Kathy) "The Dean's Watch" Elizabeth Goudge (Kathy) "This is Happiness" Niall Williams (Tanya) "The Labours of Hercules" Agatha Christie (Tanya) "The Violent Bear It Away" Flannery O'Connor (Paul)
