Latin Learning Through the Ages - Latin Learning Today

In this episode, we do a brief survey of education starting with the Greeks and their ideals (which in turn influenced the Romans and their successors). We are primarily interested here in examining the motivations behind ancient educational philosophy and how that came down through the centuries. In the second half of the episode, we talk about what this means for us now and how it can influence our own educational choices, particularly when it comes to introducing Latin into our education or our kids' educations.
