A good link and an interesting article

Just a quick note since I need to go attend to my son:>

     Found a nice blog -- though I haven't had time to go through it in depth. Still it offers some wonderful links for curriculum etc, material that is free or low cost. If you are interested, check the following:

     Another item that is worth a mention: An article by Susan Wise Bauer of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home (Third Editition) and The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child: Volume 1: Ancient Times: From the Earliest Nomads to the Last Roman Emperor, Revised Edition fame -- I don't always agree with this lady and I have some issues with her history texts (I think she made some serious errors... but that is material for another blog). In this article, however, I think she makes a good point: Reading is the key to an educated mind and spirit -- and, though she doesn't say this -- reading in front of one's children sets an EXCELLENT precedent/example. The article can be found here:

     Finally, if you are interested in a Classical education, I strongly reccommend Climbing Parnassus: A New Apologia for Greek and Latin. It is an interesting and well written book.
