I have been asked to write an article for a national
classical journal on the use of classics in high school and
college classes. I wonder how many high school and college
teachers teach the older classics (Plato, Aristotle, Homer,
Sophocles, Kant, etc.) and, if you do teach them why do you
and if you don't, why not. The question in need of an
answer is "Why Classics," or "Why Not Classics?" What
challenges do you (or other teacher that you know of run
into in teaching the classics to students today? There may
be follow up questions and if you are quoted in the
article, I will reference or not, as you choose. Thank you
in advance. (March deadline.)
