Nice Article on Classical Education
In the CiRCE blog, Andrew Kern has a very nice piece on "What is a classical education?" In it, he explains why the modern usage of the Trivium as educational stages or methods causes more problems than it solves.
Outside of our religious differences, I wholeheartedly agree with everything Mr. Kern says. Using these principles we've stripped our homeschool down to math, Latin, reading and writing; I'm doing my utmost to make sure it's good math, Latin, reading and writing. If you learn these skills well, the content areas not be problematic. It's far better to spend our time and energy on teaching these skills, and teaching them well.
