The Hirsch series is really good. I like the Well Trained Mind concept because it goes along with the developmental age of the child; the Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric Stages, each lasting 4 yrs. Each year is a time frame in history starting with the Ancients, going to Medieval, Renaissance , then Modern. The events are studied at the level of the child, then when they reach the next stage, information is added on and closer sources are used so that by the time the kids are in high school, they're using original sources for their research and study.

Thank God It's Friday!

That is not swearing. That is a sincere and heartfelt expression of praise!

'nother busy day today. But thankfully I'm done with "official" meetings until December. Now if I can just get the troll and Rasputin to leave me alone, I can get some work done.

Suzi - Nana is "some" better. She gets the brace off in about a week and a half. Mrs. is exhausted, but hangin' in there.
