I'm a latecomer. I did not hit it (in the context of formal education) until college: the "Great Books Program" at St. John's College, Annapolis MD, whose motto is "Facio liberos ex liberis libris libraque" - "I make free adults out of children by means of books and a balance."
However, I realize now that during my very early years I received a good grounding for a liberal arts education from things my grandmother taught me.
