"I dispense the honey of the Holy Scriptures,
the old wine of the classics,
the fruit of grammar,
and the dazzling splendor of the stars."
-- Alcuin (an English monk who created a palace school, under the reign of Charlemagne)
Teaching sure sounds magnificent the way he puts it! Much better than "I'm reading verses, making my kids read books, drilling grammar rules and math facts, and going through a science textbook."
I need this fresh inspiration right around this time of year! Thankful to be homeschooing today...
