Explanation of this page

Sorting out the inbound links to this new disambiguation page proved the need for this page. For the record, I examined them all, but, unusually (perhaps sometimes overcautiously), I had to leave many links pointing to this page, because it was often so vague what was meant. Many usages need to be distinguished: the education of a 19th-century British sixth-former vel sim. (as linked in many biographical articles), the education of Christian homeschooled Idaho third-graders who learn no Latin or Greek, the education of a Medieval monk learning from Peter Abelard, the education of Cicero...I hope it does not require argument that each of these may belong in a separate topic. We may hope that this disambiguation page will clarify the need for better historical treatment of various classical educations. Wareh 01:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, it's an improvement, but I would've thought that at least the link on the Philosophy of Education might be obvious. But oh well :). -- TimNelson (talk) 01:47, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
