In some schools, some of which are far ahead of our American public schools, education begins with Greek and Latin. First grade, right out of the chute. They both read and write far better than we do. They don't make the elementary kind of error such as deriving universe from 'uni=single, verse=spoken sentence' as just happened on another thread. If nothing else, they can think correctly and in detail for themselves.

Well, my little grandson is almost 6. He reads and writes (in cursive) and can do basic math. He's learning Spanish and is a Bible team leader. ( He and I are already talking about A&M and vet school:'). His mom gets a report each day when she picks him up. I feel like we are getting our money worth. When school starts back on Monday, I'm going to ask if they have a scholarship program and if not, will they start one. I don't believe it should be free though. The parent can do volunteer work for their part.
