Yeah, school was probably like prison for most kids. From your previous posts it seems you had a classical education.

Never looked into this terminology before (Trivium & Quadrivium were totally new to me!) but having looked now I would say it was a classical education.

Thanks for the new knowledge!

No problem. The main difference is that we now have the Prussian "mimicry" system in most schools except the elite ones. This trains people "what" to think instead of "how" to think. I digress, keep up the great posts.
