- per QueenofQuiz' review: ...yeah,why not teach Latin, as so many U.S. schools did... for example, when my two older siblings were in high school in a small Southern town? It shows us the roots of language, and opens doors to other subjects, when taught well. I have never heard anyone say they regretted a deep and serious high school education. Now all we have are scandalously non-factual texts. I used to think my love of collecting really good books, no matter the subject or type, was kinda crazy, but now I think it may come in handy. (don't worry, my house has shelves in all the normal places... and there *is* one local public school, very popular, in my present town teaching "classically", including Latin)

- It's sad so many buildings are left empty. However, a lot of Detroit has been done over. Aside from the building, I feel miserable for the books as well. Having taught in the Detroit area a long time, the waste of the texts has long been more than rumor. I believe all districts are guilty of discarding out-of-date texts, sometimes never-used. What makes them out of date? So many reasons (excuses?) from their replacement by the newest fad-theory of instruction to texts being truly and seriously behind the times. I've rescued Latin texts, for example. So few public schools even offer Latin anymore. I wish we'd find ways to send usable books elsewhere, or at least offer the books to students. The pictures in the article are amazing.
