I was involved with Classical Conversations for a year and then decided to try to relate the memorization passages to what they were learning. That worked for a year until I added my 3rd student. memory work has gone out the window. I'm thinking that using the CC plan as is would help my stay on track. What do you think of memorizing history and science out of context?
