The Well-Trained Mind A Guide to
Classical Education at Home
by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
Teach your child at home
or supplement his or her classroom learning --this book provides
you with the techniques, curriculum, and resources necessary
to ensure that your child's education is the best it can be.
As a parent, you worry about your child's education. With
thirty students per classroom, even the most dedicated teachers
often can't give each student the individual attention so
urgently needed, and neither teachers nor parents can control
the social environment of many schools. Is your child getting
lost in the system, becoming bored, losing his or her natural
eagerness to learn? Maybe it's time to take charge of your
child's education --by doing it yourself. This book will instruct
you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically
rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high
school; one that will train him or her to read, to think,
to understand, to be well-rounded and curious about learning.
Through a language-intensive process that organizes learning
around the maturing capacity of the child's mind, your child
will receive the complete education that today's overcrowded
schools are often unable to provide. You do have control over
what and how your child learns; The Well-Trained Mind
will give you the tools you'll need to teach him or her with
confidence and success.
