Latin is the
Next Step After Phonics by Cheryl Lowe

school" came from? Until the educational meltdown in the 20th

at home and then sent them off to school to learn...LATIN! Grammar
school = learning Latin grammar = getting an education.
Here's a tradition that needs to be resurrected. Latin teaches
grammar, vocabulary, spelling, composition, history, geography,
art, music, religion, and more. Why teach eleven subjects, when
you can just teach one!
