This week, I happened across Liberal Arts and Servile Arts from 2009, written by Andrew Kern. It put me in mind of Charlotte Mason's Principle 12, which is a great reminder as many of us are making preparations for the new school year.
I keep hearing and seeing words like "progymnasmata", "refutation" and "chreia" in classical education circles, particularly when it comes to writing. After clicking around online, I found this Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms quite helpful. Also, I now understand how Classical Academic Press came up with their Writing & Rhetoric titles :)
In Trouble with Handwriting? It Could be Dysgraphia Marianne gives a great list to help identify a child struggling with dysgraphia.
Joshua Gibbs hit the nail on the head in The Teacher is the Chief of Sinners! It'a a bit unsettling really. How many times have I pointed out the sliver in someone else's eye before seeing the plank in my own? The last line in summary was humbling in a goose bump sort of way.
