Think making kids memorize is oppressive? Speech Meet will change your mind - Carl Warmouth Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

Decades ago now, memorization largely disappeared from the American classroom. What happened? Progressive educators had decided that memorization was just rote learning at best and at worst was oppressive and harmful to the creative mind of a child. Many classical Christian schools have revived memorization during the grammar stage when children’s minds are especially adept at absorbing large amounts of information. But why? Could we indeed be harming the creative mind, or might we actually be stoking the fires of creativity by filling students with beautiful words and amazing facts? Children will memorize whatever is in front of them, whether it be inspiring poetry or commercial jingles. Speech Meet is a great example of how memorization can impact a student’s life both now and in the future. Listen in...

Show notes

CS Lewis left an indelible mark on culture. On this anniversary of Lewis’s death in 1963, we enlist the help of Lewis expert, Diana Glyer, to explore the evidence that Tolkien and Lewis’s influence on each other led to some of the finest literature ever published.

There's An Educational Awakening Going On - Gordon Pennington Nov 16, 2018

Show notes

There’s an educational awakening going on. It’s not a new movement but it’s gaining momentum. It’s creating a national conversation that more and more people are getting in on because it's becoming clear that we are fighting for the last vestiges of western civilization. We're learning that if life is subject to a grand social experiment in human engineering, then there will be risks and losses and decay. So what is it we would rebuild? And how? And would we base it on the best ideas, the most proven, the most successful ideas?

Worldview isn’t Enough - Peter Vande Brake Sep 19, 2018

Show notes

It has been said that, “the purpose of education is not thinking; it is acting. It is not just knowing what to do; it is doing it.” This means that worldview training, getting the right answers to the big questions in life, is in and of itself not enough since we are more likely to be directed by our longings and loves than our thoughts. We are tackling this topic and more with my guest Dr. Peter Vande Brake on this episode of BaseCamp Live.
