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

Rehash: The Looney "Vicar of Wakefield" Tune

For homeschool families! Listen in on this passionate discussion between me and 2 students. We have opinions on this book that is frequently assigned for Charlotte Mason high school students.
This is the second installment of our discussion on Oliver Goldsmith's book, The Vicar of Wakefield. Our first episode was a spoiler free teaser, a prep guide for before you read the book. This episode has all the spoilers.
There are three types of people who would benefit from listening to this discussion.
1. The "Victors" of Wakefield: If you've finished the book, we know you want to rehash and think through it all again.
2. The "Cheaters" of Wakefield. Love spoilers? Need more encouragement to read the book? Maybe you are a homeschool mom who's thinking of assigning it as a read, but you don't have time to read it yourself? This would be a super helpful discussion for you to hear before you assign it, or to give you material to discuss with your student after they read it.
3. Folks who are interested in what homeschooling in high school looks like. (What do ya think... the "Peer-ers" of Wakefield????)
Thanks for listening! We'd love to hear from you!
