So the first one is why would you invite students who don't know anything to start talking?

Welcome to Scalae Sisters, where we are cultivating the maximum number of thinking moms we can.

This is the podcast for classical homeschooling mammas, who yearn for something more than just checking boxes and getting it all done.

Scalae Sisters discusses topics that matter to those of us who believe

that educating ourselves through reading widely, thinking deeply, and applying faithfully,

equips us for the task of educating our children.

I'm your host, Brandy Vensel.

My co-host today is Misty Winkler.

Misty is a homeschooling mom of five, including two graduates.

She writes and podcasts at simplyconvial.com

and is the author of two excellent books, the convivial homeschool and simplified organization.

Our guest today is my son, Everett Venzel. Everett recently graduated from New College Franklin

and now works as an audiovisual

engineer at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church and as a personal assistant to the owner of a water

heater company. In his spare time, he reads anything he can get his hands on and is studying

information technology. He and his wife, Emily, are expecting their first baby in June.

If you've considered upgrading your sister-ship membership from free to Sophie level, now is the time to do that.

The live replay of the workshop Abby did with Jamie Marstle on teaching literature co-op classes for teenagers is absolutely fantastic.

To get the replay and so much more, all you have to do is make sure you are a Sophie level

member of the sister ship. Just go to scullysisters.com slash join and sign up.
