Why Memoria Press Works: Comparing Classical Education to Modern Learning

[@mama_knitter]

Love MP, we’ve been using it our entire homeschooling career (6 years) and I feel like I’m the only one of my homeschool mom friends who hasn’t strayed in my curriculum choice. I’ve been at peace the entire time ❤

The teachers I hated at the beginning of the school year because they were too hard ended up being the ones I learned the most from and still think about 20+ years later. The ones that didn't care, I put zero effort into those classes. That structure and rigor makes a world of a difference.

The same is true with coaches. In sports the coaches that were hard, were the ones that truly cared. They were the ones that I wanted to hear "good job" from the most, not the flattering/babying type, but the ones who really meant it when they said it. They were the ones that will have hundreds, if not thousands of their former players show up to their funeral.

We switched over to Memoria Press this year. We are 5 weeks into our homeschool year and my kids are loving the structure! I couldn’t agree more with everything that was said in this video! Paul would love the title of the book you mentioned (Miss Pearl?). I believe that would be a great lesson to share. Thank you!

I just love the support of homeschooling. I’m a former public school teacher now homeschooling my grandchildren. Parents you can do this!

Thank you for this episode! I used MP with my oldest up until 2nd grade. In that time I had three more little ones and one with medical needs. I was so overwhelmed I thought I needed a less structured program and jumped ship and scrambled through MANY curricula. Today my oldest is in 5th grade and I basically had a breakdown from the lack of structure and put my oldest in school (private Catholic). What they read for “literature” is appalling and the other subjects are no better. Long story short, my husband and I were talking and we realized the most our children have ever learned was when we used MP and had the STRUCTURE of MP. Next year we will be using MP. Thank you so much for all that you do!

I'm so excited that you are reading 'The Chosen'. I am reading it right now for book club for the kids. Would love to hear a podcast on this book.

What does Martin mean by "they do not have a curriculum". How can that be?

[@tatianatlucek603]

They did a podcast episode that explains what he means by this. Basically, most schools don't have a congruent curriculum that looks at the whole of the child's education... instead they look at it year by year at best. My brother-in-law teaches 7th grade English in a public school and he was given NO curriculum, no program, no books, only a list of desired outcomes. He makes all his own material.... and he has no idea what they were taught the year previous or what they will be taught next year. This makes for a very confusing process for teachers and especially for students! Memoria's curriculum is complete because it is designed to build from K-12. They've created a curriculum that fully integrates the subjects and builds within and through each grade level.
