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

High School History: You should read the US Constitution
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
More and more homeschool moms are realizing that it is essential that our high school students read original documents for history.
Have you ever read the US Constitution? For me, starting out it felt like more of an obligation than a delight, but the experience was surprisingly much more fun than I anticipated. I foresee it will enliven our thoughts and discussions for years. When we finished, I had 2 of my students (Adalyn and Esther) list reasons you should read the constitution. We spend this episode trying to convince others to read it, as well as giving helpful tips for the process. Enjoy this playful and helpful discussion, and add to the conversation by commenting your own thoughts!
