Winston Brady explains how parents and teachers work together for the mutual upbuilding of students. This relationship is a unique, collaborative partnership between teachers and parents for the time teachers have these students in their classes. Winston presents three ways parents can join in the work of classical education: asking, challenging, and encouraging. By asking students questions about what they're learning, challenging them to try new things or avoid taking shortcuts, and encouraging them each day, parents can help teachers help these students form good character and reach their unique, God-given potential.
