The model here would be great for those kids who excel in language naturally. They may very well like all the reading and writing that is required. For anyone who struggles with these skills, the program will frustrate and discourage, rather than inspire them to keep going. If a student is considering a trade school, or is questioning whether they need to go to college at all, the classical education as it's presented here is simply not likely to be the best option.
The authors state that the book is just a guide, and aspects can be tweaked for your particular children, but then in other sections, they list certain "musts" and such - the tone overall tends to lean toward a strict curriculum.
There is some great information within these pages, however! There are tons of resources, gathered all into one place, guides to what children should know at certain grade levels, and even some good thoughts. Although, the book is pretty repetitive - it could have been condensed quite a bit!
Grammar Stage (Grades 1-4)
"Young children are described as sponges because they soak up knowledge. But there's another side to the metaphor. Squeeze a dry sponge and nothing comes out. First the sponge has to be filled." pp 21-22
Logic Stage (Grades 5-8)
"The middle-grade student still absorbs information. But instead of passively accepting this information, she'll be interacting with it - deciding on its values, its purpose, and its place in the scheme of knowledge." p 231
Rhetoric Stage (Grades 9-12)
"Rhetoric is the art of expression... Since self-expression is one of the greatest desires of adolescence, high school students should have training in the skills of rhetoric so that they can say, clearly and convincingly, what's on their minds. Without these skills, the desire for self-expression is frustrated." p 465… (mer)
