Back to the Basics: The Greeks Had It First.

Hunter, C. Bruce

Illinois Schools Journal, v58 n4 p3-7 Win 1978-79

The extremes of Sparta's "basic" education are a caricature of our own discipline-based and basic education movements. An understanding of these systems can help us judge the merits of our own educational movements. (Author)
