I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.An interesting combination this week. Ted Gioia, the creator of my reading list, called it “Love and War,” but it felt like a lot more than that. And last week, I called it a hodgepodge, but I can admit I was wrong.Plato's Symposium is the third of Plato's works on this list. After wrestling with Ethics in particular last week, I was happy to get back to my friend. Symposium is written as a dialogue among friends, recalled by one who wasn't there, a little like the game of “Telephone” we'e all played. The friends' topic? Love, specifically eros. Given that this is upper-class Ancient Greece, there is a significant discussion of love between men; honestly romantic love between men and women is practically ignored. The reading plan only covered a few portion of Herodotus' Histories, Books 1 and 6-8. For full disclosure, I did NOT complete the reading but stopped with Book 7. In my edition of Histories the assigned books were more than 350 pages and I simply ran out of time. If I had done all the reading this week I would have been around 430 pages! Given that I “signed up” for about 250 pages per week, I had to stop. Confession time over.As always, I have so many, many thoughts about these works. For Symposium, I summarized each person's eulogy as a way to get my hands around the text. A few ideas:Obviously Love held an important place in the lives of Greeks. This entire dialogue is centered around it, but it doesn't look like love in many ways. I'm accustomed to thinking of love as wanting and being willing to work for the best of your beloved, and that being mutual. That desiring “for” someone else, rather than merely desiring them, was absent at least as far as I could see.There are a number of points made about Love as the dialogue progresses, and they definitely don't agree. As always, you're left to parse out the better and worse arguments. “You complete me” (yes, Jerry Maguire) makes an appearance! That attitude has been around a looooong time. Aristophanes tells a long and pretty funny tale about how human beings were at one time two-headed, eight-limbed creatures, but when Zeus got mad and split everyone in two. Now we go around looking for our other half.Does Love motivate us to honor? What kind of Love would do that? Or maybe Love is a moderating force? (I found that a weak argument.) Is its purpose beauty? Those are all offered as arguments, and all are rejected by Socrates. Socrates, via his mentor Diotima, argues that Love's purpose is procreation. As someone who has actually been pregnant several times, I found Socrates' discussion of pregnancy to be uncomfortable, to say the least. There is a ton of homoerotic talk, especially from Socrates and Alcibiades. It is just so strange to me that there is virtually no discussion of love between men and women, but tons between older and younger men. As usual, my bias shows, but it's who I am.On to Herodotus. He's been on my radar since I read History of the Ancient World by Susan Wise Bauer about a year and a half ago, and seeing him on the reading list was part of my motivation to jump in. He did not disappoint. The sections that I read were the origin stories of Croesus and Cyrus, and Persia, and then the beginning of the Persian War. I ended with the Battle of Thermopylae, which is an amazing story in its own right. A few takeaways:Every military leader should read this book. I may actually send it to my son who is in the Navy! There are examples of excellent leadership, and cranky...

Summary: In this episode, Susan Wise Bauer and Susanna Jarrett chat with Keith Nix, the Head of School for Veritas School in Richmond, VA. They discuss the differences between classical education in a home school setting versus a school setting as well as the challenges of making classical education accessible to all students. Show notes: Veritas School Website Potential Questions to Ask Before Enrolling in a Classical School: How do you adapt for students who come in at different levels or are on different developmental paths? What are your strategies? How do you ensure that students are known by their teachers and by your administrators? Can we talk to a family or two who were new here last year? How can I afford this school? What is your financial model? How often can kids go outside? Do teachers have power to create breaks? (particularly for younger children)What is the philosophy of discipline? What is the emphasis on athletics? How much attention are you giving to the arts?

Here we have represented the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the Twelve, and directly under them, fully under the Illuminating rays, are the noble figures of the seven liberal arts, Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Music, Astronomy, Geometry, Arithmetic, and under these again the men who received and expressed, so far as the artist knew, the initial idea in each of these subjects; such men as Pythagoras, Zoroaster, Euclid, whom we might call pagans, but whom the earlier Church recognised as divinely taught and illuminated.The books that Dr. Egan wished he had read sooner: A Philosophy of Education by Charlotte Mason (6th volume)The Abolition of Man, by C.S Lewis_________________________________________________This podcast is produced by Beautiful Teaching, LLC.Support this podcast: ★ Support this podcast ★ https://www.classicaleducationpodcast.com/supportOUR MISSIONWe exist for the benefit of both parents and teachers.

Traditional homeschooling and hybrid models have seen a huge uptick in the last couple of years, and, unsurprisingly, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a huge driver of this migration. But the virus and various school and government responses to it are not the only factor causing parents to consider alternative education options. Contentious discussions of which histories and sciences are taught in the classroom continue to cause worry for parents all over the political spectrum.  Our guest today is historian and educator Susan Wise Bauer. A respected and well known name in the homeschooling world, Susan has spent much of her career developing reliable resources and curricula for homeschoolers. She walks us through her own experiences with, emerging trends in, and the biggest issues facing the homeschooling world today. A Christian, Susan also reflects on the reciprocal relationship between devout theistic faith and careful science. Join a conversation about this episode on the BioLogos Forum.

Since the pandemic, there's been more clashing between the family and other spheres. Is there a way to move forward without segmenting our society still further? Educational historian Susan Wise Bauer and religious freedom lawyer Angela Wu Howard - both of them also mothers, serious Christians and generous citizens - explore the pathways. 

The classical education system that gave us great minds like Newton, Locke, and Plato is based on the individuality of the student and most importantly, their ability to develop as a person in stages. But today's popular system is based on a flawed model that tries to mix these stages at all ages. The result? […] The post 525: Classical Education Advocate, Susan Wise Bauer [REPLAY] first appeared on Living Wealthy Radio.

World-renowned author and historian Susan Wise Bauer rejoins the podcast to shed some "light" on the "dark ages", more commonly known as the Middle Ages. Why is this 1,000 year period of human history considered with generally negative regard? Is the Middle Ages even a real thing, or just something created by later historians?

Our guest today is Karen Harris. Karen Harris is married to Wes and is the homeschooling mother to 10 children. She and her family love to read, travel, and have adventures together. The author of "A Happy Mother of Children: Disciplines of Happiness," Karen continues to write and learn from her home in Maryland. Karen and a friend have been on a mission to give themselves the classical education they never received using Susan Wise Bauer's plan from her book The Well-Educated Mind. Abby and Brandy were SO inspired by Karen's story of burnout and revival that they couldn't wait to share with you! *** Memory is an essential ingredient in our homeschools.​ We homeschool moms worry if we're doing it right, if we're doing it enough, if it's going to work at all.

The roots of classical education go back to Plato and Aristotle who wrote about pursuing wisdom and loving virtue, forming the whole person rather than just preparing children to work in a job. In the Middle Ages, classical learning was outlined into seven liberal arts: the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric—those are language arts) and the quadrivium (arithmetic, music, geometry, and astronomy).

QUOTABLES Mystie: "there is no checklist that says, 'Well, as long as you are doing these things in your homeschool day, then you're classically educating.' It's less about the books or the curriculum that you're teaching from and it's really more about a mindset, an approach, and a set of goals... [It] takes continual re-evaluation." Ximena: "Yes. It's funny that you say that about being willing to be relaxed because when I read Susan Wise Bauer's book, I felt really small. I was like, 'Okay, I'm never going to be able to do this to the T.' It just felt super overwhelming, super strict. And then she was one of the keynote speakers at this conference that DeeDee and I spoke at last year, and she was the most relaxed, encouraging person. I was like, 'Did you write this book?' Because it was like awesome to hear that from her mouth, how she uses her intuition and just, again, focusing on the love of learning versus the everyday grind. And so, that was really freeing to hear that from her." Mystie: "...classical education is a books-centric approach. The books are important, but there are different ways to get those books in rather than just, well, the kids have to read everything on their own." Mystie: "That's really a homeschool mom's job—noticing what's going on with your child and experimenting with different ways to help them and finding out what works. It's challenging, but it's also rewarding to figure out how to help your child learn." Thanks to show sponsor BookShark. Request a homeschool curriculum catalog or download samples at bookshark.com.

Interviews with the Mars Thinkers including Andy Weir, historian Susan Wise Bauer, Author Dr Stephen Petranek, Leland Melvin, astronomer Lucianne Walkowitz, Dr Michio Kaku, and Dr Michelle Perchonok 

Welcome to More Christ, where we seek to bring some of the world's most interesting and insightful guests to discuss life's central and abiding questions. In this ninth episode in a series of discussions, I'm joined by the stellar writer, educator and farmer Dr Susan Wise Bauer. Susan is an American author, English instructor of writing and American literature at The College of William and Mary. She has written a number of brilliant and comprehensive books on classical education, world histories and a history of western science.

Susan, who spends most of her time writing in her restored chicken shed and running her four companies and works as a faculty member at the College of William and Mary along with lecturing regularly on writing, education joins Alan to discuss her literary efforts.

This week Jeff and Dave welcome author, teacher, musician, farm guru, and mini-Aristotle Susan Wise Bauer via Zoom from her home in Virginia. Jeff and Dave enjoy a lively back-and-forth with Susan on her many talents and accomplishments. Tune in as Dr. Bauer discussses her experience being homeschooled, her love of Hebrew and history, and her best-selling books that serve as guides to anyone who wants a “Classical education”. Along the way we discuss what different people mean by the term “classical”, the rigors of writing a “universal history”, as well as Susan’s latest interest—Hippocrates and history through the lens of medicine and disease.  And if you’ve been unsure about when to do your “lambing”, listen to the end for the shear joy.

The classical education system that gave us great minds like Newton, Locke, and Plato is based on the individuality of the student and most importantly, their ability to develop as a person in stages. But today’s popular system is based on a flawed model that tries to mix these stages at all ages. The result? […] The post 492: Classical Education Advocate, Susan Wise Bauer [REPLAY] first appeared on Living Wealthy Radio.

After months of distance learning, we're ready to rethink school. Susan Wise Bauer tells us how. For parents who aren't natural homeschoolers, the challenges of distance learning have proven to be some of the pandemic's most difficult. When her son's struggles become bigger than academics, Laura and her family seek help in the only place they can find it: on the opposite side of the country, far from home. Laura talks with best-selling author, educator, and historian Susan Wise Bauer, who offers a vision for education in America that can bring us together.  Read more about Susan Wise Bauer here. Get our free 1-page pdf on Choosing Gratitude, sign up for our newsletter, and support the show at shelterinplacepodcast.info. This episode is dedicated to my mother-in-law, Robin Davis, who has not only forever changed our son's life, but given our family much-needed shelter thousands of miles from home. Shelter in Place would not exist today without her.

Join Anne as she talks with Susan Wise Bauer—best selling author of multiple books (most notablyThe Well-Trained Mind)—about principles that have shaped homeschooling for two generations.

Adrienne Brown-David creates gorgeous paintings, drawings, and paper dolls! It was so helpful for me to hear that she doesn’t actually have it all together all the time despite seeming very put together and successful from the outside. She talked about how she allows herself to not be good at everything all the time - to have times where she is excelling at teaching and motherhood, but not painting; and times where she is making incredible artwork, but her home is a mess and her kids are eating cereal. Hearing this felt like permission to give myself more grace, to stop trying to do it all. Adrienne paints her daughters and places them in settings in the American South. She talked about how she captures the varied aspects of her children and validates all sides of them as Black girls who will become Black women in a society that tries to invalidate their complexities. Adrienne Brown-David is a freelance artist living in a small, rural town in northern Mississippi. Though she is originally from St. Louis, Adrienne has lived in both Chicago (where she briefly attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and the Virgin Islands before settling in the south. Adrienne is a wife and mother of four daughters and the experience of motherhood greatly influences her work.

The great rivals of the Israelites - the Philistines. Who were they? Where did they come from? Today we discuss some world history of around the time of 1000 BC: ranging from China to India and through to the bronze age collapse for the many kingdoms of Mesopotamia and the ancient Mediterranean. We speak about how this collapse an the invasion of the sea people pushing through Egypt and across the sea effected the Israelites - as it brought about one of the most well known people in all of history...  Goliath!

A book review of Rethinking School: How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education by Susan Wise Bauer.

Susan Wise Bauer, bestselling author of several books, including The Well-Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had, advocates returning to classical education to solve many of our children’s educational problems. And she’s here to help us understand why this approach is both timely and needed in our modern society. The post 461: Classical Education Advocate, Susan Wise Bauer first appeared on Living Wealthy Radio.

Getting started with homeschooling can be confusing because there are so many options. This is the first episode in a series where we cover the many different methods and styles of home education. In this episode, we begin a conversation with Aimee Dyson about the why, what, and how's of the classical approach to home education.

Many parents new to homeschooling often immediately think “what curriculum or program should I buy” when in reality, that question should be much further down the list. Every family comes to homeschooling for different reasons but regardless of that reason, a parent should really take some time to think about what they want for their child’s education, as well as, what their child needs to learn best. These are two separate issues to think about. Both are are very important though to determine how to move forward in determining how and what to teach your child(ren). The good news is there are a variety of social media groups, blogs, articles, and books to learn from and get insight for your educational needs. It’s important to take time to research, think and formulate your own educational philosophies and needs for YOU and YOUR CHILD. Once you think a bit deeper about your needs, you may find that what you want for your child isn’t “traditional” and you want something more natural or developmental. On the flip side, you may find that you want something more rigorous and challenging. Each child is different and it will be easier to target curriculum or programs that might work for you and your child once you dive deeper into these ideas.Here’s a list of well regarded books to explore education and homeschooling as a larger issue. It’s by no means an exhaustive list and there are many books available through your library e media, amazon, Kindle, or perhaps even a fellow homeschooler can loan you one. Reading just a few of these will very likely get you thinking differently about education and sharpen your educational goals. You will find it’s much easier to continue your homeschool journey with a better foundation.Educational Realities (or why you should homeschool)Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor GattoWhy Are You Still Sending Your Kids to School by Blake Boles (releasing soon)Free to Learn by Peter Gray John Holt-any of his booksHomeschool Styles/Philosophies The Brave Learner: Finding Everyday Magic in Homeschool, Learning, and Life by Julie Bogart (www.bravewriter.com)The Unschooling Journey by Pam LaricchiaUnschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom by Kerry McDonald, forward by Peter Gray Rethinking School: How to Take Charge of Your Child's Education By Susan Wise BauerA Literary Education by Emily Cook How to booksProject Based Learning by Blair Lee & Samantha CookThe Well-Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer (caveat:this is a lengthy book that can feel intimidating and overwhelming, however, if used as a guide, it can be very helpful for those interested in a more rigorous and/or classical education model)Cathy Duffy's 102 Top Picks for Homeschool CurriculumI would greatly appreciate it if you enjoyed the podcast, please leave me a review wherever you listen to podcasts to help my search-ability.

Classical education rests on three developmental stages.  1. The grammar stage-nuts and bolts of a subject.  (Elementary school)  This is a time to absorb the basics.  2. Middle school- The logic or dialectic stage.  Look for connections and thinking more abstractly.  3.  High school- attention to expression in the “rhetoric” stage. Each stage is appropriate for stages in the brain’s development. Susan was born in 1968, grew up in Virginia, and was educated at home by pioneering parents, back when home education was still unheard of. She learned Latin at age ten, worked as a professional musician while still in high school, and wrote three (unpublished!) novels before she turned sixteen. In high school and college, she has toured with a traveling drama group; galloped racehorses at a Virginia racetrack for spending money; taught horseback riding; worked in ghostwriting and newspaper ad sales; learned enough Korean to teach a Korean four-year-old Sunday school; and served as librarian and reading tutor for the Rita Welsh Adult Literacy Center in Williamsburg.

We live in a time when there are SOO many fantastic options for educating our kids (and ourselves!) formally and informally. We have had many parents ask us about our take on how to enhance the process of learning in our families. There seems to be a lot of parent guilt about not doing enough to teach their young children structured academics, and some worry that they are making learning a drudgery by pushing it too much. In this episode, we address these concerns and offer our own personal approach, which focuses on a combination of guided and self directed learning, with a heavy dose of wonder, a touch of positive challenge, and a relaxed attempt at moderation. We have experience with several kinds of schooling, including homeschooling, and we give our take on the benefits of the different options.

The texture is so creamy:) 1 cube butter 1 cup light corn syrup 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1 box brown sugar (16 oz or 3 1⁄2 cups) (sometimes I just eyeball this - T) 1 can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (optional) Combine all of these ingredients together and heat on medium low for a long time—at least a half hour, stirring often once it starts getting bubbly. The key is to do it slowly so it doesn’t burn, and it just barely boils. Do this until all the sugar is dissolved. Then, remove from heat and stir in the secret ingredient: 1 Cup Sour Cream (I’ve added anywhere from a half cup to 1 pint, and it always turns out AMAZING - T).

Dr. Merritt has also taught Greek at Texas Christian University, has done translation work in Swahili, Croatian, Japanese, and Haitian Creole, and is the author of Devils and Deviants: Religious Schism in 1 and 2 John. In addition to Dr. Merritt, the guys are joined by two pastors that happened to be on campus for the Return to Wittenberg Conference that was recently held in Milwaukee. Pastor Johann Caauwe currently serves Trinity Lutheran Church in El Paso, TX and Pastor Nathanael Seelow serves Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Kearney, NE. Rev. Caauwe homeschools his children and has recently presented on the topic of Classical Education in the early Lutheran church. He has also offered Latin classes to children in El Paso as an extension of his homeschooling efforts. Before arriving at the main topic, however, the guys waste their time (and yours, should you choose to listen) by discussing--in perhaps the most uninformed way possible--the positives and negatives of self-driving cars. The discussion comes to it’s logical (and merciful) conclusion when Oliva questions how confident Wade should be about where he might find himself in the event of a tragic airplane crash. Moving on the main topic, Dr. Merritt offers a glimpse into his personal background as well as a brief description of his book Devils and Deviants: Religious Schism in 1 and 2 John. This leads into our conversation about classical education, where Dr. Merritt walks us through a discussion of how classical education differs from what Peter ham-handedly refers to as “modern” education. While acknowledging that there are many different ways classical education can--and is--understood, Dr. Merritt provides us with a sophisticated articulation of what he believes to be central to classical education in regards to its content, method, and telos (i.e., “end” or “objective”). Leave it to a Greek teacher to use Greek words in his answer, but it turns out to be perhaps the most essential part of Dr. Merritt’s view of the value of a classical education. Forming the student, he believes, NOT to be first and foremost getting them into a good school and getting them a good job, etc., etc. (although it may be a secondary effect). Rather, he believes that putting in front of students those things that participate in truth and goodness and beauty gives educators the opportunity to teach students to love those things that have truth and goodness and beauty. So, if you’re a longtime defender of classical education, or someone who’s never even really heard of it before, we think you’ll enjoy this episode. And if you’d like to contact Dr. Merritt, you can do so through the Covenant Classical School website. More links than you can shake a stick at, so here are the main links discussed in the episode (and even a few that weren’t mentioned): Books and Articles: Jason Merritt, Devils and Deviants: Religious Schism in 1 and 2 John Dorothy Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning C.S. Lewis, On Reading Old Books This was originally the introduction to a new translation of St. Athanasius' On the Incarnation published mid-20th century, but usually anthologized under this title. Robert Littlejohn and Charles T. Evans, Wisdom and Eloquence Flannery O’Connor,  The Nature and Aim of Fiction, from her book Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose I believe this is the essay that Dr. Merritt references near the end of the episode.
