Interesting.
I’m a couple more years out from starting homeschooling (baby girl is only one!) but I’m becoming convinced that I need to at least investigate classical education philosophy that’s becoming popular with homeschoolers. I know our homeschool will be more math and science focused than a lot of the strict classical homeschoolers I know - but I think it should be a “both and” not an “either or”.
Although Professor Fish says it much more lucidly than I have ever said it, this was really at the foundation of our own homeschooling experience. The ideal of the classical education was that for which we strived.
We seem to have succeeded, at least in large part. You will note the name of the poster who posted this article. Yes, he is my son.
And yes, I shamelessly pinged this article to folks with substantial ping lists. ;-)
