Mr. Tom Cox's approach to telling great stories in the classroom starts with a self-limiting 3×5 notecard. The challenge when telling any story from history is that all such stories run together, are infinitely entangled, and lack the defined clarity of exposition, crisis, climax, and denouement. Mr. Cox provides a practical framework and examples for “putting flesh on dry bones” in an effective, compelling way that students will remember. This talk was delivered at the Forum Teaching Conference in the fall of 2024.

A surprising number of Catholic conversions in the last hundred years begin with one man: G. K. Chesterton. A modern Catholic favorite, Chesterton looms large in subjects as diverse as theology, satire, marginalia, philosophy, politics, and mystery fiction. Our guest today is Dale Ahlquist, founder and president of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton. His own journey of conversion started with Chesterton's The Everlasting Man. In our conversation, we visit many of Chesterton's ideas, concluding with the much misunderstood “distributism”—a Chestertonian practical philosophy and the subject of Ahlquist's co-edited book of essays titled Localism: Coming Home to Catholic Social Teaching.

The task of fatherhood is critical, dynamic—and daunting. How could one address hope to address it all? During the Fatherhood Conference at The Heights School this month, Headmaster Alvaro de Vicente boiled it down to this: God chose this for you. You are called. Accepting this simple starting point should give fathers the confidence to take on the role, and the humility to seek God's grace while doing so.

What is beauty? Is it definable? What is it for, how are we drawn to it—and why do we sometimes resist it? This week we welcome Dr. George Harne, president of Christendom College and an accomplished medieval and music history scholar. Drawing on his perspective as head of a vibrant Catholic liberal arts college, he speaks to us about the liberal arts as a path of study driven by beauty and contemplation, in pursuit of a true vision of reality.

Charlotte Mason's simple framework for a teacher calls him a “guide, philosopher, and friend.” It's a lovely image—but what does that practical application look like? At the Forum Teaching Vocation Conference last winter, Heights teacher Tom Cox unpacked each of these terms citing ancient wisdom and loads of modern classroom experience.

Starting a garden isn't just about planting seeds and tending greens. It's a compelling journey that goes beyond the soil – a tale that's not only visually enthrall but emotionally connect. To learn more about this horticultural expedition, we turned to an authority in conifers and ginkgo trees - Tom Cox, the creator along with his wife Evelyn of Cox Arboretum and Garden in Canton GA.   Cox Arboretum and Garden, a renowned botanical hub situated in an ideal geographic zone, is a distinguished example of a beautifully curated, year-round, environmentally connected garden thriving with over 4,000 species of plants. From its humble beginnings to attaining recognition as the largest species collection of conifers in North America, the story of Cox Arboretum and Garden is one of dedication, learning, and an enduring love for nature.Creating the Cox Arboretum and GardenTom Cox and his wife, Evelyn, didn't initially plan to create such a vast arboretum and garden. They purchased a plot of land they fell in love with, and it morphed into a space teeming with exotic conifers, trees and intricate landscapes. The availability of varying growth conditions within their land allowed them to cultivate a diverse blend of plant species, creating a unique ecosystem that thrives in balance. Plants from colder climates or the ones wanting more warmth, both found a comfortable home in their Arboretum. Traveling for Botanical Enrichment with Adventures Around the WorldTom's passion for horticulture extended far beyond the domestic soil. He and Evelyn embarked on travel to over 51 countries, exploring the world to discover exotic species, and returned to their arboretum to nurture their global bounty. This international exploration enriched the Arboretum with distinctive varieties of conifers and other plants, creating a fascinating botanical showcase that is a visual treat and a source of learning for gardening enthusiasts.Designing Gardens for Success One of the major takeaways from Tom's experiences is the emphasis on garden planning. Tom points out the common pitfalls that amateurs and even professionals sometimes fall into, such as failing to account for the ultimate size of plants during designing and neglecting to consider the seasonal adaptability of certain species. By understanding these essential factors, gardeners can prevent landscapes that become overcrowded or lifeless after the initial blooms of spring fade.  A Year-Round Garden for All Seasons Tom Cox emphasizes the importance of creating a garden that has four seasons of interest. Instead of focusing only on spring blooms, gardeners should incorporate plants that create interest in winter, summer, and fall. As per Tom, a successful garden will provide pleasure not just during the peak springtime but all year round. Plants like hollies, rhododendron, Helleborus, along with a variety of conifers and azaleas, are great options for maintaining interest and color throughout the year.The Future of Cox ArboretumThe admirable efforts of Tom and Evelyn have shaped the Cox Arboretum and Garden into an educational and intergenerational source of gardening inspiration. As the torch passes onto the younger Cox generation, the Arboretum promises to evolve further, inviting more garden enthusiasts into the folds of its natural charm and educating many more about the art of successful gardening. In conclusion, the story of Cox Arboretum and Garden is a testament to nurturing a garden's potential through careful planning, diverse planting, and a commitment to creating a year-round, interactive space. The arboretum's journey from a simple plot of land to a famed botanical site encourages us to cultivate gardens that work in harmony with nature and serve as beautiful sanctuaries for ourselves and future generations.This is an encore and remix presentation with Tom Cox.

Tom Cox, Head Football Coach at Mt. Vernon High School in Missouri, talks about learning from his past and how he uses a servant heart of Christ to lead his family and his student-athletes... "Give us the child and we'll give you the man!"  And without Faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.  Hebrews 11:6 #Coach #Podcast #Faith #GodsPlan #HighSchool #Football #Student #Athletes #Ecouragement https://www.victorymission.com/powerlessyetunstoppable/

This week on HeightsCast we feature Tom Cox, Upper School Latin teacher and one of the architects of the Core Humanities Sequence. In the Episode, Tom explains what epic poetry is, where it fits into our curriculum, and why we teach it. Weaving together themes from Homer, Virgil, and Dante, Mr. Cox shows us how these epic poems shape the boys' moral imaginations at a time when they are first beginning to ask life's perennial questions: What is the purpose of life? What is the purpose of my life? Can I be a hero? If so, what is my quest? By way of epic poetry, as Tom explains, the boys can begin to see that some of the most epic of all journeys may be hidden in the most ordinary, quotidien activities of life.

In schools today, Shakespeare is often taught superficially. Students attempt to grasp the plot with the aid of their teacher, who helps them through the difficult Elizabethan English. At best they learn something about the beautification of language and the cultural significance of the Bard. But his work is not taught as it was written to be understood, that is, sapientially, for growth in practical wisdom and the ability to see more clearly the nature of man and the man's relationship with both fellow man and God. This week on HeightsCast, we welcome back Dr. Matthew Mehan for a discussion of Shakespeare and the education of leaders. Associate Dean and Assistant Professor at Hillsdale's Van Andel Graduate School of Government, Dr. Mehan helps us see that there is more to Shakespeare than is immediately apparent from a surface-level reading of his plays. He explains how a deep reading of the Bard offers a training in that nimbleness of mind—a good mother wit—without which, St. Thomas More said, all learning is half lame.  To do this, Dr. Mehan walks us through the opening of Hamlet, Act V. Not only does he offer an example of Shakespeare's genius, he also gives an example of how to teach Shakespeare as not only aesthetically delightful but also morally instructive and useful—the ideal companion to theology and philosophy.  For educators interested in learning more about Shakespeare and how to teach him as a teacher of wisdom, check out the Forum's summer workshop on Shakespeare.

All RPGs and no fighting games makes Jack a dull boy. We don't *solely* play RPGs here at RPGFan, and today is exactly the podcast to express that. Four RPGFan panelists discuss a few of their favorite games that can't be classified as RPGs with even the most liberal interpretation of the term, from crossover fighters to atmospheric horror to block puzzles to epic bug sagas.

For Tom Cox, who worked in a country club and had an interest in all things technology, an online business selling golfballs seemed like the perfect match. However, creating an online business 28 years ago presented some unique challenges. For one, e-commerce wasn't yet a thing, and then there was the ".com crash" of 2000. So when Tom, Owner and Founder of Golfballs.com, told his Father that he was going to start a business selling golfballs online, his dad asked the question, "What can you get online that you can't get in-store?" Soon after, customization came into play. Today, customization accounts for 80% of sales for Golfballs.com. From corporate events and tournaments to bachelor parties and birthday gifts, Golfballs.com has become the top name in golf-related customization. In this week's episode, Tom Cox discusses where the idea for the business originated, the paradox of choice, and how the pandemic and new methods of play have brought the game of golf to a whole new generation. Thank y'all for all of the support so far this season! We couldn't do any of this without y'all. Don't forget to follow us on our socials and share with your friends and family.

What does it mean to be “civilized”? What is justice? What is a citizen? Given the opportunity, would you have killed Julius Caesar? Was Nero inevitable, or is it possible to keep one's wits while running such a powerful empire?  These are a few of the questions that eighth graders at The Heights are challenged to ponder together in their core class. With the help of their teachers and a new history textbook, the boys not only consider these questions amongst themselves but do so in dialogue with some of the greatest thinkers of the Western tradition.  This week on HeightsCast, we discuss Tom Cox and Bill Dardis's new book, Becoming Rome: Foundation, Republic, and Empire in the Words of Eminent Romans. In addition to sharing the story behind their writing, Tom and Bill introduce us to their method of teaching history at the primary and secondary school levels. Drawing on fourteen years of experience in the classroom as well as graduate studies in the liberal arts, Tom and Bill offer practical insights for teachers who hope not only to bring history to life in the classroom but also to prepare their students to bring those lessons into their own lives.

The Cox Arboretum and Gardens is a private estate located in Canton, Georgia. Canton is approximately 40 miles north of Atlanta in the foothills of the Piedmont Range. Numbering over 4,000 living specimens, the plantings display one of the largest private collections of temperate flora in the United States. With an elevation of 1200 feet and containing several lakes and streams, we are able to grow a wide variety of plants in our zone 7B climate. The property is also bounded by several large wetland habitats where many migratory and native fowl make their home. It is situated on 13 acres in the middle of an old-growth southern deciduous hardwood forest, containing many large Oaks, Hickory, Poplar and Sweetgum–some of which are over 100 years old. The Arboretum was started by Tom and Evelyn Cox in 1990 for the purpose of collecting garden-worthy plants. Throughout the years the mission has evolved with a present focus on plant evaluation, preservation of rare and endangered flora and to develop a public appreciation and enlightenment of plants.  It also serves a scientific and educational purpose, through testing and displaying new and rare plants in a garden setting. Tom served as a national president of the American Conifer Society  www.conifersociety.org (2006-2008).  He now travels the world in search of conifers that might be adaptable to southeastern U.S.  Along with Dr. John Ruter, he has co-authored a first-ever book on conifers for the South.   Landscaping With Conifers and Ginkgo For the Southeast. https://coxgardens.com/ https://MrMaple.com

Boys love concrete details and, even more, they love when those concrete details form the fabric of a hero's tale. Indeed, as Aristotle himself knew, better than telling adolescents merely about virtue is giving them examples of heroes, for good men are not made in theory, but in practice and boys need to see virtues practiced to be inspired themselves. What better place to turn than an author who has taught generations of leaders, not least of which were our own country's founders. That man is Plutarch and our guide is Tom Cox, one of the architects of the eighth grade core humanities class and current upper school classics teacher.  In this episode, Mr. Cox shows why and how we teach Plutarch to our boys. He explains why it is important to find the good even in heroes that are less than saints and helps us understand that education is more than something that merely happens; it requires a boy's freedom. Although heroes may not be saints, they are good starting points. It is perhaps not mere happenstance that Plutarch wrote his biographies as the Evangelists were writing their lives of life's Author. As the Greek philosopher was a master at portraying those little details which form a hero's character, it is the man from Nazareth who teaches us to turn them into heroic verse—and that is the beginning of holiness.

From forming relationships and building the Heartland brand. Executive Producer Tom Cox dives into the beginnings of casting and developing the multi-generational show we all know and love.   *Please note some of these episodes make container spoilers.*

Our guest is Stephen Fry, writer, actor and polymath, who last week joined John and Andy in person to discuss Oscar Wilde's De Profundis, the essay addressed to Lord Alfred Douglas 'from the depths' of Wilde's incarceration in Reading Gaol in 1897. It has been described by Colm Tóibín as 'one of the greatest love letters ever written'; it is also Wilde's most powerful testament of the sacred duty of the artist as he conceived it. We discuss the work's convoluted publication history, Wilde's posthumous reputation and his ongoing relevance in the 21st century. In addition, Andy has been reading Hayley Campbell's fascinating All the Living and the Dead (Raven Books), which he describes as "a work of true rigour mortis"; while John digs enthusiastically into Villager (Unbound), the new novel from writer and former Backlisted guest Tom Cox.
