Home School High School Latin can teach parents what they do not know?

Many of the mothers of the school of origin express disbelief when I tell them that we taught Latin in our homeschooling. And 'possible if you do, one step at a time. Even if you do not speak Latin at random around the table, you can do this! Latin class is so difficult arrival follows a recipe.

The reason is that the curriculum is great for home schoolers. Home curriculum generally assumed that parents are not necessarily a background inObject, then it is his self-taught. Self-teaching is a valuable skill, the life we want to encourage our young people.

Adolescents who teach in high school to learn, are better prepared for college life. In college, professors assume students can read and distill large amounts of information without much freehand. Self-curriculum gives students the responsibility for getting things with the help of instruments in hand. Mom and Dad again a step backand let your child work through problems.

We used the Latin Road, and start them that a) you are homeschooling and 2) the teacher is a mother who does not know Latin. We watched the brake its' Latin, and could not even begin until the first chapter of this. I believe that Latin Road is the fifth and up, but you should check on the site.

We were afraid when we started Latin! I would look at the book and, well, it was all greek to me! But we continue to plug away and finally "Gotthem. "

Now, in retrospect, after having studied two children home from school, Latin was a great idea. My son liked it because it is mathematically very logical mind and Latin, the language of mathematics. My youngest son has three years of Latin and Latin was in Junior Year at the university. He must continue to make every Latin Quarter during his career BA. The skills learned in Latin, developed on his own serve them well in alltheir university studies - not only in Latin.

Latina is a big problem for home schoolers. Do not be afraid at all! Besides being the basis for many other languages, the choice of a self-teaching curriculum Latin benefit greatly from high school.
