We love the teaching company!! We have almost all of their lectures and they have all been fabulous. They are a major part of the high school education we want for our children. My favorite is The History of Freedom by Rufus Fears. He starts with the battle of Marathon in Greece so we learn that the marathon is named for that battle when a soldier ran from Marathon to Athens to tell the Athenians not to let the invaders in because they beat them at Marathon and then he dropped dead after delivering the message and it was 26 miles that he ran. Dr. Fears tells it much better of course!! Then Dr. Fears go through some Roman history and Alexander the Great to Constatine, to England and finally the United States and the constitution. That's just what I remember from first listening to it about 2 years ago so my facts may not be exactly right on. It was so enlightening to hear all these historical events in perspective with each other and how we got to the United States and the constitution. I highly recommend that lecture. The others have been very interesting and enlightening too. I just love learning new things!! I think libraries have them too because they do get expensive, always buy them on sale!!
Their website is www.teach12.com
I hope you enjoy. They have free lectures you can download and those are always interesting too!
