I've heard of them both. That's great. Wouldn't it be great if public schools could offer something like that.

Actually, in the next county over from me, there is a classical charter school for middle school kids which offers a kids' Great Books curriculum. The education they offer is considered too "elitist" around here.

That's a real shame, isn't it? There was a time in this country when anyone who truly wanted to be considered educated devoted themselves to studying the Great Books and the trivium (Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric). I'm just glad that there are teachers out there who are dedicated to keeping this tradition alive.
