In today’s episode, we’re exploring a transformative concept championed by Keith McCurdy: the shift from raising children as consumers to nurturing them as contributors. In a world that often prioritizes “me first,” this mindset asks a different question: “How can I help?”

But how does this philosophy play out in real life? The Classical School of Wichita put it to the test, and the results are inspiring. Their school culture has been transformed as students have taken ownership—not just of their learning, but of their entire community. From leading projects to supporting each other, these students have become active contributors.

Join us as we delve into their journey with Classical School of Wichita teachers Grant Bickell and Evan Adams who share practical ways you can encourage your own children to become contributors, both at home and in school. This is an episode you won’t want to miss—right here on BCL!
