Page 14: Senior Years - Fine Tuning

Somewhere around age 12 to 14, most students will have covered enough of the basics that you can begin fine-tuning their education to reflect their personality and goals. There will be many things that will be finished (eg spelling, arithmetic, catechism), some will continue to a higher level - vocabulary, music, algebra - and other things can be added now that they are older. Logic is one of these - teach them to see through bad arguments to avoid being taken in by unscrupulous people. Here are some other ideas.
