    Hi Sam,

    I never heard of Paideia before but since your remark i really enjoyed
    hearing about them, quite some reading in front of me after all the
    references I found.

    A short while ago I started reading the "Institutio oratoria" written by
    Quintilianus in around 92 AD.
    However old it still gives us a great guide on how to teach Retoric, further
    then that in this book, at chapter 1.2.4. he discusses wether homeshooling
    is preferable from having a child get the schooling in a public place.

    Its quite a read but it might interest you.

    Kind Regards,

    Robin Brouwer
