Title: What I missed in high school
Review: While Mr. Simmons makes a cogent, book-length argument for why Latin and Greek should still be a core part of every American's education, I'd say his strongest point is simply looking at the Founding Fathers. Most of them received an education in the classics and look what they produced. How many politicians today could accomplish the same thing? Perhaps, just perhaps, study of the classics has more merit than previously thought. Despite some reviews on this site that complain about the complexity of Mr. Simmons' prose, I'd say, if you're literate beyond Dr. Seuss, you should have no difficulty in following the argument laid out in this fine book.
