<![CDATA[In the Margin]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/in-the-margin In the Margin is a literature podcast about slowing down and paying attention — to great books, and to the world they keep teaching us to see. I'm Kim: a teacher, a homeschooling mom, and a lifelong reader who believes the best learning doesn't happen on the test, but in the margins — those small, honest notes we leave beside a text as it works on us. Each episode, we step into a book together, ask better questions than the ones with tidy answers, and practice the kind of close, careful attention that turns reading into something that changes you. Whether you're one of my students or simply someone who loves a good book, pull up a chair. There's room in the margin for you. Read more at http://delightandsavor.com

It's the story of how dead learning convinces you the problem is you, and what it took for a book to finally come alive in my hands. From a Greek mythology class that felt like punishment, to the senior-year teacher who handed the work back to us, to a graduate history class where every student wrote a different true account from the same evidence — this is why I build everything we do the way I do.

In this episode:

  • Why the most challenging education can look, from the outside, like the easiest
  • What it means that the learning belongs to you, not to me
  • Charlotte Mason's habit of attention — and why it shows up everywhere, from a drive-through window to a doctor's office
  • What it actually costs a teacher to grade thinking instead of right answers
  • A first look at where we're headed this year: Of Mice and Men, the world of Depression-era migrant workers, existentialism as a lens, and the capstone that lets you truly know a character

Whether you're one of my students or simply someone who loves a good book — pull up a chair. There's room in the margin for you.
