"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." — Socrates
The Schoolroom
RSSThe Schoolroom is for books, habits, education, and the domestic seriousness of forming children well.
It gathers material related to teaching, children’s reading, and the quiet work of formation. This realm is less about schooling as a system than about education as a way of shaping souls, tastes, and attention.
