72: Benjamin Lyda - How and why we teach students to love writing.

About this episode

James interviews Benjamin Lyda about the importance of teaching writing as an art within a classical education framework.

Join James as he sits down with Benjamin Lyda from Scriptorium Writing to discuss writing within a classical and liberal arts framework. They discuss both the how and why of teaching writing and argue that writing is not just a technique, but an art that humanises the writer. Please consider becoming a founding donor for St John Henry Newman College, a new independent classical school in South Brisbane.
