[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I think that is a big difference between Latin and other schools. They are unapologetically teaching from a moral perspective. Not religious, but moral. As in what does it mean to be a citizen of a country? A citizen of the world? What is our duty as educated people? What is right and what is beauty? What are the values behind science and literature? Answers aren't provided. The learning comes through the questioning. The socratic method. It is fulfilling for young people to approach learning in this way. I think it pushes back some of the nihilism and self centeredness that is part of being in middle and high school[/quote] My son is a 5th grader at Latin this year and this is part of why we chose Latin over Basis. Both, I believe, offer the academic challenge, but I wanted something that was more holistic in the approach to teaching my son.[/quote]
