Book Reviews of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home, Revised and Updated Edition
Book Review: homeschooling resource
Summary: 4 Stars
It's quite a book to undertake, but I'm tackling it in bits and pieces. It has been a useful tool in homeschooling my child. Book Review: Look for the 1st Edition
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an excellent guide that EVERY homeschooler should have. HOWEVER, the 1999 edition has better resource lists in it, because it was written before Bauer and Wise began publishing their own Language and History books. I checked out the 1st edition from the library and LOVED it. I was a bit disappointed to get the 2nd edition (2004). I don't like the fact that they now recommend their own books, and don't recommend much else that would compete with their own series in these subject areas.Book Review: The Well Trained Mind
Summary: 5 Stars
This book helped motivate me and give me the resources to feel confident about homeschooling my daughter. I would highly recommend it.Book Review: A Must-Read for Anyone Considering Home-Schooling
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Well-Trained Mind" has been a very informative read and strikes true with many of my own ideals about what a good education should be. The resource lists are amazing and those alone should be enough for anyone to by this wonderful reference material. The authors are very honest about how much effort and energy are required for home-schooling, but by the end of the book the reader is left feeling as though they could take on the world.Book Review: An Excellent Resource For Parents
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must-have tool for any parent of a homeschooler or for that matter of any school-age student. Filled with great information on curriculum and strategies; I recommend it very highly.
