I ordered the entire 6M curriculum package with modifications for First Form Latin and doing a combined year of Classical Composition Fable/Narrative yesterday. It shipped today. I am really proud of myself for finally making a decision, and going with what you all told me to do. I also went with the slightly easier 6M instead of 6A.
However, I also ordered the Veritas Press Omnibus Level 1 with teacher today. It seems to be the only other program that actually gets kids into good schools. I kind of really like it. Those of you who follow the forum a lot know that I am really into history. I see their program doing more classical history reading. They read Livy. I love Livy! I named our dog Livy because I love him so much (our dog is a girl, but I am not really into gender identify debates so Livy and I are both fine with that). I want to know a few things here:
1) Does anyone have an opinion of Veritas Press? Can I use it for history and classics? It seems much more in depth, but I guess I will find that out for real next week when my Omnibus book arrives.
2) Why does Memoria Press not schedule Livy's History of Rome, or any part of it? That seems to me to be a real part of a classical education.
I always love what I hear here, but I am am a bit confounded by the compete removal of Livy from the classical/historical studies in the MP program, and am sure that some of you can tell me why, if you cannot convince me that my daughter should wait until college to read him.
Thank you all, as always, for your opinions. Happy 4th of July!
