The students at my kids’ public high school have to read a book recommended by a teacher over the summer and discuss it at a seminar when they return. The band director recommended Eusebius, and a number of students signed up for his seminar, including my son. So I just wanted folks to know that at least a few public school kids have done some classical reading and discussion. Unfortunately, you should be aware that public school kids these days often do not read a book word for word. They read some, skim some, and look up a commentary or two. So, even a solid curriculum cannot save those who are determined to cut corners and deprive themselves of a compleat education.

Wow, that IS impressive. I assume they will be reading his Ecclesiastical History? That is an utterly fascinating work in my opinion.
