044: Classic Books vs. Candy Books: The HP English Teachers

The Horizon Prep Lioncast: Classical Education in San Diego and Rancho Santa Fe, California

This is Week Two of our series on the Logic and Rhetoric schools here at Horizon Prep.

Week One (#043) was an overview of Logic and Rhetoric and what's on the horizon for both schools.

This week we talk with two of the English teachers to find out more about the English program at HP.

Ellen Bennett and Tony Groesbeck joined Will to talk about English and books, and what makes a good book "good". During the conversation one of the things Tony said was

"A classic book is one that teaches you into lean into life and learn more and think more about life, vs a candy book that pulls you out and distracts you from life".

This episode is a little longer than normal. What are your thoughts on the length of the podcast?

Is brevity the soul of wit? Or is it The More, The Merrier?
