As a publisher in the world of classical education, Memoria Press is often asked: Why do you write new books and guides rather than directly utilizing ancient sources? This is an important question we aim to answer with this week's Classical Et Cetera.

Drawing on years of experience in curriculum development, we will explore important pedagogical choices related to this dilemma and highlight how we can honor the wisdom of the past while addressing contemporary needs.
