I loved Classical Studies in college!

I need to revisit some of the classics (the REAL classics) soon. I actually minored in Classical Studies in college but haven't read much from that era since reading Xenophon's "Anabasis" a couple years back.<br /><br />I've never read The Republic front to back, but certainly read passages many times for other work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481406859587493585.post-63610758930513251492014-04-22T11:22:57.425-04:002014-04-22T11:22:57.425-04:00I've never heard of Socratic method, but the w...I've never heard of Socratic method, but the way you described it made it sound so interesting! I hope I may take this up in school as I grow up! I'm really into things in social studies and all (even if I'm bad at it a bit haha) especially when it opens up about society :) Thanks for sharing!

Most of my classmates thought I was weird because I enjoyed it so much. :) I'm already using the Socratic method with my kids. They probably get sick of me turning their questions back on them. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
