I'll be keeping tabs on the subject! I am very much in the thick of educating my kids, and am always looking for any tidbits that might help--- I did well in school and still feel my education was deficient, with one exception: my tiny parochial high school always made its young, fresh-out-of-seminary assistant pastors teach us theology and religion. So rather than a canned dumbed-down curricula, we got college-level seminars in church history, theology, the Gospels, and a good survey of other religions. I refer back to what I learned in these classes *constantly* and they gave me a framework for evaluating all sorts of things. It makes me wonder how much more useful my schooling might have been if we'd studied Aristotle and Plutarch as well! It's in my kids' curricula, but we haven't got to it yet, and I'm intimidated. I've made an attempt at Bauer's book myself, and just couldn't manage it at the time. Would love to see your results!
