Classical Me, Classical Thee: Squander Not Thine Education by Rebekah MerkleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A quick 100 pages written to classical school students to point out the benefits of such an education, and to call for appreciating and not squandering such a gift.
Merkle does a decent job speaking to a high school audience, with little gimmicks or patronizing, making the case for logic, rhetoric, Latin and more. I’m not sure 6-7 chapters were needed each on a different topic, but the basic point was a good one: you’ve been given a gift. Don’t squander it like the man given 1 talent who buried it in the ground.
