In another short conversation starter, James and Difff chat about the place of homework, specifically in relation to the classical classroom. As usual, the conversation comes back to considering first principles of purpose. Often homework is given 'just because' rather than being tied to a meaningful and thoughtfully considered purpose.

And does it hold a mandatory place in classical education?Please consider becoming a founding donor for St John Henry Newman College, a new independent classical school in South Brisbane.
