Speaking of which, the kids' summer reading lists. Yes, made a fourteen-year-old read the Iliad, straight up, no help, over the summer. That will really instill a love of reading. (I read the Iliad when I was 21, after a decade of reading Greek mythology, knowing the story front and back...and still struggled with it. I mean, Jesus, it's the Iliad.)
