    A reviewer

    Whether he intends to or not, Richard makes a case for returning to a classical education model for our children. The brilliance of the Founding Fathers is largely explained by their early, frequent, and in-depth exposure to the classical works of the Greek and Roman writers. Such political insight and wisdom has never been nor will ever be duplicated by the products of government schools. I thank him for putting yet another nail in the coffin of this bankrupt system of education!
