Reviews for The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home (Fourth Edition)
If you're a parent who has decided to educate your children yourself, this book is the first you should buy.
Washington Times An excellent resource for any family with a desire to incorporate a classical education in their home, whether as a curriculum or as a reference.
Educational Freedom Press [Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer] are thorough and pragmatic, offering a detailed curriculum for kindergarten through grade 12, as well as opinions on everything from Latin (an indispensable language) to the Internet ('a mixed blessing').
The New Yorker An A for Home Schooling...a remarkable compendium of information designed to help home-schooling parents give their children a traditional liberal education.
City Journal This book would be entertaining simply as the story of how Jessie, then a schoolteacher, decided to teach Susan, who now teaches literature at the College of William and Mary, at home-pulling her and brother Bob out of school in 1973 when home-schooling did not have social acceptance and explicit legal sanction. But it's so much more than a good yarn. It's a mind-stretching tome.
Robert Holland - Richmond Times Dispatch This book has caused a revolution within the homeschool community.
The Old Schoolhouse Homeschooling parents on a mission to find the ultimate resource-or parents of traditionally-schooled children interested in an excellent supplement-are all well advised to peruse the pages of Wise and Wise Bauer's classy guide to classical education at home.
Boox Review An invaluable road map.
