I always try to help as kindly as I can when someone asks for context about a novel or TV show that is set in another time or culture, but sometimes I also just want to scream "Context clues!", especially when they get angry at a character, because even things written in a different time or place for that time or place will usually have enough in it for you to figure it out.

For example, people will often say, "Why doesn't Edward just break his engagement to Lucy! He's so weak!" about Sense & Sensibility and then be angry at him about it. Yes, there are historical conventions that explain the reasoning which might not be understood, but it's also right in the novel. Multiple alignment good characters, including Elinor herself, praise Edward for not abandoning Lucy and for keeping his word. Even if one doesn't fully grasp the reason, it's clear that he is doing The Right ThingTM.

It seems like the way some people approach anything is to apply only their own values and norms to it. When I pick up a book written 250 years ago or watch a TV show that wasn't made in my country, I'm starting with the assumption that morals and norms may be a bit different than my own. If a character does something I find odd, I pay attention to other character's reactions to see if it's normal or not. If everyone makes a big deal out of something I don't get, I register it in my brain as A Thing that I should probably look up later. If a value seems really important, I think to myself, "They probably put this moral rule above others" (we share most moral rules across cultures, we just order them differently). This doesn't seem like rocket science to me. Do people not do this?

Unlocking the Power of Classical Education: How an Educational Consultant Can Help You Navigate the Journey

In today’s rapidly changing educational landscape, parents, educators, and institutions are increasingly seeking ways to preserve and enrich the timeless values of classical education. As the pursuit of excellence in both intellectual and moral development gains momentum, more and more families are turning to the "Society for Classical Learning" to guide them in adopting a curriculum that challenges the mind and nurtures character. However, navigating the intricacies of classical education can be complex, and this is where an Educational Consultant plays a crucial role.

What is Classical Education? Classical education draws its roots from ancient Greece and Rome, focusing on the study of the liberal arts. It emphasizes rigorous academic training in subjects like history, philosophy, rhetoric, logic, mathematics, and the natural sciences. The aim is to foster critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, and moral integrity by providing a well-rounded, humanities-focused education.

In classical education, the focus is not merely on learning facts and figures. It emphasizes the development of a student’s intellectual abilities, teaching them how to think deeply, communicate persuasively, and live virtuously. This traditional model of education has proven to be effective in cultivating the leadership and analytical skills necessary for success in any field.

The Role of an Educational Consultant in Classical Education Educational consultants are professionals who guide families and institutions in choosing the right educational path for their children. In the case of classical education, an educational consultant specializing in this area offers expertise in the unique aspects of this approach, helping individuals make informed decisions about curriculum choices, teaching methods, and educational philosophy.

An Educational Consultant can assist in various ways:

Assessing the Educational Needs of Students Each child is unique, with their own strengths, learning styles, and areas for growth. An educational consultant specializing in classical education can evaluate your child’s current academic standing and learning needs. By understanding these factors, the consultant can recommend the best course of action—whether it’s enrolling in a classical school, opting for a hybrid homeschooling model, or supplementing a more traditional education with classical elements.

Selecting the Right Curriculum Classical education is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and selecting the right curriculum is essential. With so many different programs, textbooks, and methods available, it can be overwhelming for parents to know where to start. An educational consultant can help you navigate through various curriculum options, tailoring recommendations to align with your child’s intellectual strengths and interests. Whether you are looking for a traditional approach or a more modern classical variant, a consultant can provide guidance in choosing the most appropriate resources for your family.

Guiding Schools and Institutions For educational institutions looking to implement or expand classical education programs, an educational consultant can offer strategic insights and support. This may include professional development for teachers, curriculum design, and advice on integrating classical principles into modern educational environments. Consultants often help schools create a clear, coherent vision for their programs and ensure that the classical framework is implemented in a way that is both sustainable and effective.

Supporting Homeschooling Families The rise of homeschooling has made it easier for parents to customize their child’s educational experience, but it also requires significant planning and organization. An educational consultant can be especially helpful for homeschooling families, providing advice on structuring a classical education program at home. They can suggest resources, create timelines, and recommend enrichment opportunities outside the classroom, such as field trips, study groups, and extracurricular activities that complement the classical curriculum.

Building a Solid Educational Foundation At the core of classical education is the Trivium, which consists of three stages: grammar, logic, and rhetoric. These stages are designed to align with the cognitive development of children, ensuring that they are taught in a way that meets their intellectual capacities. An educational consultant can help ensure that each stage of your child’s education is approached appropriately, giving them a strong foundation in logic and critical thinking that will benefit them throughout their life.

Benefits of Working with an Educational Consultant Partnering with an educational consultant, especially one who specializes in classical education, offers several key benefits:

Expert Knowledge and Experience Educational consultants bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. They are often well-versed in the philosophy and pedagogical principles of classical education and can provide expert guidance that is grounded in years of practice and study.

Personalized Solutions An educational consultant offers customized advice that is tailored to the unique needs of your family, child, or institution. Whether you're looking for a curriculum that fosters independent thinking, or you’re interested in incorporating more classical elements into a modern educational setting, a consultant will create solutions that align with your educational goals.

Time-Saving Navigating the educational landscape can be a time-consuming and overwhelming task. By working with an educational consultant, families and schools can save valuable time, as the consultant will already have the knowledge of available resources, best practices, and proven methods.

Long-Term Success Classical education is known for its ability to produce students who are not only well-prepared academically but are also equipped with the tools to succeed in life. Educational consultants can help ensure that students stay on track, progress through each stage of their education with confidence, and emerge as capable, thoughtful, and well-rounded individuals.

Conclusion Incorporating classical education into your child’s academic journey can provide a transformative experience, fostering intellectual depth and character. However, the nuances of classical education can be daunting to navigate alone. This is where an educational consultant specializing in classical education becomes an invaluable asset. With their expertise, guidance, and personalized solutions, an educational consultant can help you unlock the full potential of classical learning for your child or institution, ensuring that the principles of this time-honored tradition continue to thrive in today’s world. Whether you’re a homeschooling parent or part of a traditional school, consulting with a professional can be the key to an enriching, lifelong educational experience.
