Summary
On today's show, Pam and Brandy discuss learning styles and the fact that there is no scientific evidence whatsoever to back them up. (Obviously, Pam is trying to get us into trouble.) But REALLY, it was a great discussion, even if somewhat controversial. Also, if you've ever wondered how learning styles intersect -- or not -- with the classical tradition, we manage to Go There.
In our Nitty Gritty Question, we also confess our regrets and do over desires in regard to early childhood education in our homes.
Don't forget about the Scholé Sisters Forum. There are some virtual Scholé Sisters groups forming now, so you don't want to miss it. Just go to scholesisters.com/join to get more details on that.
