    I recently found out about the classical model of education based on three stages of grammar, dialectic and rhetoric - evidently it is of interest with home schooling. I wonder if anyone has any input on this. I get the basic concept, but am just interested in going a little deeper into it. Seeing as how many JWs are home schooled I thought some may know, although I guess for many it's just a way to get away from the worldly influence.

    Oh, I was all excited, I thought it was goint to be a post about the demon "The terrible Trivium" from "The Phantom Tollbooth."

    Hi educ8self, are you a former JW? Are you just curious about homeschooling?

    I really don't know about that method. Sounds interesting to me too. Maybe you could google it? It's mostly ex-JW's here.

    Thanks Truths. Smells, I am a former JW and I guess if you call educating yourself home schooling, I'm interested. Not sure you can leave it to anyone else in the final analysis, anyway.
