I have never heard of Michael Clay Thompson, but I am going to look into it. Thanks for the lead!
I do feel as though I am already following much of the classical ideology (lots of reading), daily math, lots of history, etc. However, I am not currently doing the memorization piece, and we are following a different kind of writing program. Right now, my son writes using webs similar to those in public school. As you probably know, the classical method using narration and dictation to teach writing. I think this may work better for my son, but I am worried that it won't give him the skills he needs if/when he returns to public school.
