The Lost Tools of Learning			Nine Lies About School Choice: Answering the Critics
The modern revival of Classical education was sparked by this 1947 speech at Oxford by Dorothy L. Sayers.  It was printed in essay form as The Lost Tools of Learning .  For those interested in classical education, it is "must" reading, and a second reading will be equally valuable.  The section headings and emphasis are added.			Thirteen years after publishing the first "Nine Lies," CER releases this revised version. Included are responses to school choice opponents' claims against school choice--such as the claim that choice programs take only the "cream" (or best students) from public schools or that choice programs violate constitutional provisions against the use of public dollars for religious purposes.
