Self-education

I’ve restarted my self-education project by hitting up iTunes U, and also getting a Great Books reading list together.

Language
Latin: Wheelock’s plus texts from TextKit
Greek: Pharr’s Homeric Greek from TextKit
Japanese: Japancast in HD + a Japanese Literature overview in English
French: FrenchPod

History
Classical Mythology
The Ancient Mediterranean World
Knights & Maidens
Ancient Greek History

Philosophy & General
Philosophy for Beginners
Critical Reasoning for Beginners

I need to find a good basic algebra course and I’ve been collecting links for other subjects to read/learn.

Now of course this isn’t all at once, but I do plan on studying one thing daily.

Homeschooling for Liberty by Tom Smedley

Homeschooling for Liberty by Tom Smedley
Great Essay on homeschooling. He articulates what I believe about education in today's society. If it wasn't for my bookworm tendencies, I would have had a very bad education. I don't want to send my smart 3 year old to government school to be taught on what the latest fad is and how to be cruel to other children because of their real or perceived differences.
