Requiring a freshman Latin course would be a cheaper and wiser investment in mastering language, composition and inductive reasoning than free electronics.

i love this, and i concur!

no kidding that "Having Better Technology Does Not Make Us Smarter!" our Founding Fathers were of the most brilliant thinkers... many of them were well-read in the classics, and some of them well-versed in the classical languages... even the least educated of them were more educated than most of our college graduates today...

as a homeschool mom who also works away from home, this is what i want for my sons... today when i get home from work, i will be reading The Aeneid with my boys, giving them a test in Latin... mathematics with my younger son... and then i will be reading Cicero's The Republic and The Laws and Virgil's The Divine Comedy with my older son, who does Advance Mathematics and Material Logic on his own/online...

tomorrow i will do vocabulary and history with my younger son, along with Latin and The Aeneid with both...

I read last night that Detroit spends $32 to process a $30 parking ticket. Make sure you teach your boys how to analyze costs. That knowledge comes in handy when the budget is on the table.
