About this title

Review:

An excellent resource for any family.

An excellent resource for any family.

[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').

An A for Home Schooling... a remarkable compendium of information designed to help home-schooling parents give their children a traditional liberal education.

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 & Mary, at home.... But it's so much more than a good yarn. It's a mind-stretching tome. --Robert Holland

This book has caused a revolution within the homeschool community.

An invaluable road map.

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.

An invaluable road map.
