I like the idea of teaching everything. Gilbert Highet has this great quote about how you just can’t know what a kid can absorb if you teach it right. So I like the idea of teaching a lot rather than a little. We aim so low sometimes.

When I was in high school, they forced me to read Shakespeare. I loved it! When people say they’ve never read the classics, I feel like they got gypped (sp?). Poe, Dickens, Sinclair Lewis—really good stuff there. I had terrific teachers, too.
You are a great blessing!
