Jackie in AR Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 As my boys are preparing to enter the high school years in a few months, I'm investigating all of their options. Has anyone had dc go through any of Fritz Hinrichs' (Escondido Tutorials) Great Books Tutorials? Opinions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in SoCal Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi Jackie :-) Gosh, I'm feeling very rusty in my WTM board skills. It's been a looooong time... I'm actually back on board researching Great Books options for next year. My eldest son is currently taking Escondido Tutorials GB1 and CW Chreia/Poetry online. We'll be signing back up for CW (Herodotus) next year, but I'm not yet sure what we'll be doing for GB. What I'd really like is for my son to magically fall in love with his GB class between now and the end of the year, so I can sign him up for GB2 AND the free Greek class. ;-) But I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. sigh. What would you like to know about the class? For the sake of full-disclosure: my son does not like this class. *I* think it's a fine GB course (albeit not a perfect fit for ds). And since I really want my son to have a GB experience that he enjoys and is engaged by, I'm looking around for some more options. (not necessarily ruling out Escondido).

Jackie in AR Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi, Susan! You must have done a search because my post is a year old! But thank you for answering it because no one else did in all that time. :D We decided to stick with our own study here at home. We use TOG, and so we've done a little of their lit this year and then picked some other books we wanted to read instead of some of the TOG selections. I have really enjoyed having this time to discuss with my boys, and we're going to follow that same plan next year. I will admit that one of the reasons I had my eye on Escondido was for that Greek class. :001_smile: Now I'm trying to figure out if we'll somehow squeeze in Greek before my boys get out of high school. It is good to see you back on the boards! Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in SoCal Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 What a hoot! I only noticed the February date and NOT the year. I was thinking I was only a couple weeks late to the conversation :-}. Told ya I was rusty. grin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
