How to Teach Logic
by Martin Cothran
From my new article, “How to Teach Logic” in the Late Summer edition of the Classical Teacher:
When should students begin to learn logic? The answer, of course, is: “When they are ready.” This can happen as early as seventh grade. It is at this age (about 12-13) that many children begin to seriously think about the reasons for things. They are no longer satisfied with the concrete, but are beginning to understand and appreciate abstract ideas.
