I am pulling a Billy Madison and going back to grammar (elementary) school this next year. I will be attending the Classical Conversations foundations and essentials program, as a student.

I get asked a lot of questions about these program while promoting CC and I know very little about them, other than that my younger brothers did these courses and are a lot smarter than I am. I hope that you will see an improvement in my writing, I hope to be more useful to my trivia team, and I will work to have better understanding of my job.

Going back will also solidify my understanding of geography and history and the IEW program will help my writing significantly.

Zais - South Carolina should cut teacher training to save money. Too bad there isn't a free training seminar offered in South Carolina. Wait there are about 5 free 3 day trainings offered by Classical Conversations (none posted as of this writing).
