Listen "39. Are Parents the Primary Educators?"
Episode Synopsis
You've probably heard the saying before, that parents are the primary educators of their children. In fact, it has been said on this very podcast. But are they? And if they are, what does this really mean? Difff and James engage in a pseudo-debate about the topic to try to get to the heart of the proposition. They end up discussing the importance of family, the power of the state, how to work with schools, and the weight of responsibility that parenthood entails.Please consider becoming a founding donor for St John Henry Newman College, a new independent classical school in South Brisbane. Check out Difff's other podcast: Chiron, conversations about the past to help make sense of the present.And James' other podcast: The Art of Inquiry, inquiries into the nature of the world and humanity with expert level guests passionate about their field.Music: 'Inspiring Dreams' by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoonCreative Commons CC BY 4.0
