Junto: Classic Book Discussions!
Not many of us feel great confidence in our "stellar" education, no matter how many degrees we have. You may feel under-educated and ill-equipped, but the classics hold all the keys to your self-education and open up rooms of delightful wisdom.
I am recording the great discussions I have with Esther (age 14) and Adalyn (age 15) for you so you can strengthen your own intellectual courage, curiosity and delight.
I would LOVE to hear from you. There is always more to discuss about a book, and I would love to hear your thoughts, your struggles, and your suggestions! Email: redeemmyeducation@gmail.com
