Modern education often promises freedom and creativity—but does it deliver? In this episode of Classical Et Cetera, we take a closer look at why traditional classrooms, rooted in order, routine, and content, may serve students far better. The team unpacks how classical methods form not just minds, but souls—cultivating discipline, genuine learning, and even joy. Along the way, we discuss classroom structure, educational goals, and what students truly need to flourish. If you've ever questioned what education is for, this conversation offers clarity, insight, and a compelling case for going back to basics.
