In this episode Colton sits down with Ben House, a former headmaster and humanities teacher, to consider the differences between classical education and the all-pervasive “progressive” alternative seen in most public and many private schools. We discuss how classical schools are incompatible with progressive schools—noting key differences—and why the former is the only alternative that encourages life-long learning.

Ben is a published author. You can find his book on history and teaching, along with several essays and book reviews below!
