[B-Greek] Something about Pedagogy

This article is actually about Hebrew pedagogy, comparing American 
schools with European ones, but I think by implication it has some 
things to say about the way Greek is taught as well in American graduate 
schools.

"To complicate matters further, many American programs are not even 
making sure that their graduating Ph.D. students have strong knowledge 
of Biblical Hebrew. Unless corrective action is taken, there will be a 
chasm between the continental, British, and Israeli scholars, who 
generally know Hebrew well, and those in the States, who often emphasize 
methods that talk about the text rather than engaging it closely and 
carefully in the original language."
