We're kicking off a fresh season of @scholesisters

We're kicking off a fresh season of @scholesisters by talking about one of the two most forbidden conversational subjects: RELIGION.

This episode is now live in all the major podcast players. Head over to the Scholé Sistership if you want to discuss this topic with other mothers. ❤️

After, all, #religionisessential to a classical education.

After over two decades of motherhood, I am still a

After over two decades of motherhood, I am still astounded at how many people recommend technology use to parents as a way of "preparing the children to live in the real world."⁠
⁠
While each mother can choose to do what she deems best for her own children, she should be under no illusions that handing a child some sort of device is doing such things. (Those of us born in the 70s when no one even had a personal computer can tell you that we adapted just fine to the era of smart phones thankyouverymuch. We were never handicapped by riding our bikes instead of playing video games.)⁠
⁠
"[The] absence of literary culture is actually a marker of future blindness," says Taleb -- and well he might! But let's be clear: literary CULTURE. Not reading the occasional book for school.⁠
⁠
Culture is only taught through immersion. This means owning books (all kinds -- novels, yes, but also history, poetry, and more), reading them aloud, reading them on your own (kids and parents), discussing them, and referencing them in conversation. At some point, books become part of who you are and what you are like, what your family is and what it is like. THIS is when it actually becomes culture.⁠
⁠
And what does literary culture do? It opens your eyes for the future. You can often see what's coming -- or at least what is possible -- because you've already read something similar. The more you've read, the more you have to draw on.⁠
⁠
Literary culture is your child's bank account. It's an important inheritance you can leave them as no amount of money or tech can make up for cultureless ignorance.⁠

Trying something new for my favorite little insomn

Trying something new for my favorite little insomniac. I have never been in so entertaining a waiting room in my life. 🤣 It was all I could do not to laugh out loud. 🙊⁠
⁠
Example 1: Patient is a young man in his 20s who is scared of acupuncture. Him: "NO! I was hoping you'd just do what you did last time." Dr. Kim: "Well, if I just did what my patients told me to do, they would not get better. I do not do what you ask. I am the doctor. I give you what you need." Later, she says: "You are lazy walker! This is bad habit! You do not need surgery; you can fix your habit. Listen to me. I will save you money. I don't like seeing young people coming in here all the time."⁠
⁠
Example 2: Patient is an old man. Her: "And get your hearing checked! Your wife does not like this." Him: "My wife says I'm fine." Her: "Well, your wife may understand you, but no other woman understands you. And she has to yell at you ALL DAY! You check hearing and you WEAR HEARING, do you understand me?"⁠
⁠
At one point, she came out to the waiting room. She glanced at me, sitting cross-legged and twisted sideways. She pursed her lips. Five minutes later, she came back. "If you keep sitting like that, you will be my patient next." 🤣⁠
⁠
PEOPLE! I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH. I told a lady in the waiting room I wanted to bring all my kids down there to be bossed around by Dr. Kim.⁠
⁠
And she was so good with my daughter. Time will tell how it works. 💕⁠

It's what you've been waiting for! What do I read

Before the day is over, I thought I should share this confused tree we saw on the way home from Costco. Fully blossomed. Mark it.

Is it January? Yes. Does this tree think it’s February? Also yes.

Some people are in such a hurry. 😒

Is the lesson here to slow down? Or is it to accept that some blossom before we feel ready? I’m pondering.

I decided to start the new year off with a review

I decided to start the new year off with a review of the Square of Opposition. I set a timer, which means we stopped at Subcontrareity. We’ll have to finish the rest some other time.

Logic has been one of my favorite subjects to teach, second only to Plutarch. I realize now that I primarily love them for the same reason: the wonderful conversations they inspire.

The Square of Opposition, by the way, is especially handy in everyday life with teenagers. If they say “all” people are a certain way, they can expect their mother to know the line of contradiction and exactly how to use it. 🤣

And don’t get me started on diagramming the news. 😆

All of this to say … LOGIC. DO IT. It’s so fun. And your children will really blossom as thinkers.
