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. ;-)

I was homeschooled and we did not use a deliberately classical structure. Some of the concepts were there but not deliberately expressed.
The wonderful thing about homeschooling is the ability to pick and chose elements of philosophies on a family or even child by child basis.
One area many homeschoolers neglect or contract out is high school level math and science and it’s a serious failing that we need to work at. Hopefully the more parents think about education, rather than just grabbing a curriculumn, the more that gap will shrink.
