Grades aren't the point, so drill to win.
Rebekah Merkle knows which high school classes you like and which you roll your eyes at, which books you enjoy and which you kinda skim. That's because she went through this whole thing called classical education, too.
Classical Me, Classical Thee is light-hearted and -- most importantly for you busy students -- very short. It has a simple goal: to explain why you students are doing what you do in class. (Spoiler: it's not because you'll use your knowledge of the Iliad Book 5 yearly until you die.)
What you do in class is a drill -- and nobody drills for the sake of the drill. You do drills so you can win the game. The real tragedy, though, would be if you didn't know you were doing drills...or didn't know there was a game at all. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Written to middle school/high school (or even more advanced older elementary school) kids, Merkle walks through each subject of classical education and talks about why each is important, how they fit together, and how it differs with what's going on in government schools. This isn't going to be the one book to rule them all for classical education. This is a love letter to students in the thick of it who need a good reminder of what's the point of it all and what's the end goal.
Merkle gives a good start going forward with relating to the target reader and deals with Latin first of all which is probably the biggest difference when it comes to classical education. Each subject covered is a quick "get in and get out" take so as to make the point to the student and provide some examples. Of course, the coverage of how classical education fits into glorifying God and helping develop a Christian worldview is what the goal here is. There are a few examples of how classical graduates use these skills separately or together. While there are some examples of these, I think the book could have used a few more. This a small gripe for an important book to give a boost to students and thus a much-needed resource. Final Grade - A- (
