On the decline of the Christian day school

My favorite seminary president (and only one that I know) and fellow "gun nut" has written this about the travails of Christian schools across the country.  He covers the issue of cost (the one Dr. Bauder's children went to would have been prohibitively expensive for my children), and more importantly, covers the very real issue of whether the students are actually learning to read a text in the historo-grammatical method.  The answer, unfortunately, is "no," and his solution (as mine) is careful instruction in the Trivium.

Amo, amas, amat--it's not just for Catholics anymore.  Or at least it shouldn't be just for Catholics.
