from School to Homeschool · host Janae Daniels

What happens when a lifelong academic discovers that true education isn't found in credentials, but in curiosity? In this conversation with Megha Lillywhite of Classical Ideals, we discuss autodidactic learning, homeschooling, classical education, beautiful children's literature, the decline of artistic standards, the pursuit of beauty, and why independent thinking matters more than ever.
