I am classical through and through. I was raised by my single mother and great grandma and great grandfather. I appreciate oldschool it taught me so much. I also shy away from permissiveness as i was raised in a very liberal neighborhood and many of my childhood friends suffer greatly for it. The teens that i most respect have been classically trained and could talk me under the table yet were humble and hospitable enough to play with my little ones. I feel like i have my own one room school house and i am totally ok with that. I wasnt always with eclectic and unschooling families around me i tried to wear their armor and it was way to big like david wearing sauls. I have so enjoyed relearning the history of the world and marvel at how it has inspired comforted and urged us to take huge steps of faith as we have seen others do the same throughout time and amazing things have happened. Yet even with classical education and daily chores we have so much fun as a family and the children do have plenty of free time. Thank you so much for writing this post and putting this blog together. It is a comfort to kn

Yes, I use Tapestry of Grace as my main curriculum. It covers history, literature, writing, geography, fine arts, and more. There are many ways to give your kids a classical education and my favorite starting point is actually The Well-Trained Mind. 🙂

I have been looking into Classical Conversations but I become so overwhelmed. I love your reasons and it falls into line with the way I feel I was taught as a child. Unfortunately, I feel all this is lost in a public school and is one of the many reasons we have chosen to homeschool.
