I have been using this method in homeschooling my oldest girl since age 6. We especially enjoy studying history using Susan's books. The good thing about classical homeschooling is that it provides us with a guideline to follow so that we know what to do next. I would usually do my own teaching plan hence I did not invest in any homeschooling books such as Sonlight. The drawback with the classical method is that it is too parent-driven as opposed to the montessori method which is child-driven. I'm now trying to incorporate this method with the montessori method so that it works in my family.
