I know there was a discussion on this book back in 2006 when this book came out. I am wondering how it is working for those who are are using it.

There is a lot that I like about this book. The thing we took away from this book was making Latin a priority in our curriculum. It is a personal thing with me though. I just really kept feeling tugged in the direction of Latin for our 3 boys who are currently taking an online course. Our daughter does do Latin but is very inclined towards French. I like to think of God's will in the decision making...our daughter just might do French as her primary foreign language. I will prayerfully consider...

I also like Drew Campbell's blog Runningriverlatinschool. I have not learned to link here but you can google it in I think.
Hope this helps a little:)

I read it about a year and 1/2 ago and it's been a process to become more Latin-Centered, which for me involved letting go of things like grammar, for instance. We have not really made the leap with Greek and I'm not sure we ever will. I find that math, Latin and writing with catechism, reading, history & science sprinkled in keeps us more than busy.

I also enjoy being part of the Latin Classical Ed yahoo group. It's a diverse group of people, secular & religious, who are attracted to CM, TJed, WTM, unschooling, etc. I was able to learn about all the different latin programs through the group and now we use Lively Latin which we love.

HTH!
