Let them gimmick. I’ll stick with a classical education for my kids.

All by myself, with only Dad to help.

They’ve been doing this for the past I don’t know how many years. Now it’s called “Constructivism.” What did they call it 20 years ago? There is nothing new under the sun. This is just another recycled, tired, failing idea.

Have you noticed how many Christian schools and public charter schools are now using a classical curriculum? A public classical charter school in my state (with a majority of minority students whose first language is not English, poverty level, students eligible for free lunch, $7,000 per year spent on each student, etc.), just beat my neighborhood middle class and above middle school with its progressive ideas and $14,000 expenditure per student, on their state tests.
