About this episode
In the second episode of Refining Rhetoric, Robert Bortins speaks with Leigh Bortins, his mom and founder of Classical Conversations. Leigh has written several books, including The Core, The Question, and The Conversation, and is well known for her ability to demystify the fundamental tools of learning. Since 1984, her efforts have helped launch the "home-centered" education movement. Robert and Leigh discuss classical education, homeschooling, the origins of Classical Conversations, and the upcoming Math Map, a brand-new math program for Classical Conversations members.
