  • How To Change The School System | Parental Involvement in Children's Education
    May 1 2024

    On today's episode of Classical Et Cetera, the table sits down to talk about parent involvement in education. What tools do parents need to confidently engage with their children's education? How can parents feel more equipped to help their children succeed in their educational journey? What is the parent's role in children's education, why is parent-teacher communication important, and how will student's engagement in class improve when the parents engage themselves in what children are learning? What might be possible if parental involvement started in early childhood when a successful jumpstart in school matters most? Engaging with the curriculum, staying knowledgeable in children's literature and reading, and impressing upon your children the value of their own education will lend a huge hand to schools, teachers, and ultimately your family itself. Everyone plays a part in a child's education, and that part can be good or bad. It will take a lot of work to fix the American education system, but a parent that stays involved in the classroom or homeschool has made it known that they care, that they're engaged, and that their children are set up for success.

  • What Have We Done to the Fine Arts? Is It Just an Elective?
    Apr 24 2024

    Professor Carol is back in this episode of Classical Et Cetera to talk about the importance of studying the fine arts and music and its role in a classical education. In small ways we have lost the integral parts of the fine arts in our modern culture. And in our neglect, the fine arts have drifted to the backs of our collective consciousness to the role of a simple pass/fail elective. How do we take it back? It takes a unified curriculum, a passionate teacher, and a creative approach to reinstate the fine arts in the hearts and minds of our students. Join Jessica, Tanya, Paul and Carol as they dive into art's place in the classical world and how our culture can learn to thrive again with an emphasis and attention to the fine arts! Memoria Press is here to help homeschool and classical schooling families with tips, choices, and simple planning strategies to make classical Christian education available to all!
