This is why in our family we choose to study Latin, prioritize reading aloud over almost everything else, and why I’m not a fan of time-consuming “hands-on” projects that eat up entire afternoons without allowing for mastery of material or engagement with big ideas. The nitty-gritty of this is going to look a little different for everybody, but the principle remains: Our lives are, by nature, integrated. Our school day should reflect that.
