Click here The Scholé Review Issue 27 | December 2018 Developing Healthy Community in Your Scholé GroupFrom Scholé Muse Carolyn Baddorf: I have been homeschooling my children since their earliest years. They came fast and furious, in just barely over three years, two boys and a girl, now ages 14 – 11. I have learned so much, but I am still a novice. My dad always told me, “The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.” Read more at the Scholé Groups blog. The Sirens, representing temptation, make frequent appearances in classical mythology. Their stories reveal much to us about the nature of distraction in our own lives and its interference with our pursuit of scholé. These stories also show us the ways that the Sirens—and distraction—can be resisted. If you are in need of refreshment and a time of scholé (who isn't?), join us as we explore and learn from three sessions examining encounters with Sirens: Odysseus & the Sirens, Orpheus & the Sirens, and Dante & the Sirens.
