There might be some confusion over what "classical education" means. Do you mean a traditional/mainstream public school? Or classical as in structured around the trivium?

I believe the confusion is merely your own. The context is clear here.

Not to me.

Are you equally confused by the lack of cello in classical rock?

Notice the use of quotes.

Is anyone here talking about this other educational system you're referencing? Have there been any mentions of it?

It wasn't clear to me, either - there's an education system conventionally called "classical education" and it is not what you refer to when you use that term.

I meant traditional public school, it's what I referred to as "classical" ("classical" in a sense what I believe most of us went through), though I understand there are private schools that in principle operate in similar way.

Thanks.
