As homeschooling and classical education continue to gain popularity, it's important to delineate the significant difference between The Rhetoric Stage and whatever speech and debate program is being taught in public schools. In today's episode, Shane Saxon and the team at Memoria Press discuss why we don't have a speech program in our classical Christian education curriculum and why we would rather focus our efforts on developing students through the stages of Logic, Composition, and Rhetoric. We also talk about some the criticism that a homeschool or classical classroom might face when they don't teach traditional speech and debate. Join us as we explore these questions and more, diving into the key principles and benefits of teaching Rhetoric in a classical Christian education curriculum. Whether you're a homeschooling parent, classical educator, or simply interested in learning more about this important topic, this video is for you. What are you waiting for? Let's get started.
