[quote=Anonymous]This is why everyone should read A Well Trained Mind by Susan Wise Bauer - even if your children are in public school. The Romans discovered the Trivium - grammar stage, logic stage and rhetoric stage. It was abandoned during WW1 because the teaching profession didn’t thing immigrant children needed a classical education. Seems things haven’t changed much, eh? Elements of the grammar stage still were in schools in the 1970s public schools (as well as direct instruction). This has all been abandoned for decades and replaced with the latest educational fads - and needs to come back. The latest brain research has proven the Romans correct.[/quote]
