About this product

Product Information

The Well-Trained Mind 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. Veteran home educators Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer outline the classical pattern of education called the trivium, which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind and comprises three stages: the elementary school "grammar stage," the middle school "logic stage," and the high school "rhetoric stage." Using this theory as your model, you'll be able to instruct your child in all levels of reading, writing, history, geography, mathematics, science, foreign languages, rhetoric, logic, art, and music, regardless of your own aptitude in those subjects. This newly revised edition contains completely updated ordering information for all curricula and books, new and expanded curricula recommendations, new material on using computers and distance-learning resources, answers to common questions about home education, information about educational support groups, and advice on practical matters such as working with your local school board, preparing a high school transcript, and applying to colleges.

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

Always a great experience with Second Sale! I literally search through their items first before doing a general search on eBay when I'm looking for a book. Why? Because the items always arrive promptly, generally in better shape than I'm expecting, and all for a great price. Plus they typically have the books I'm hunting for. And, come to think of it, the only time I had to contact them for customer service, they were extremely helpful and earned themselves a devoted customer. Thank you!!!

  • Homeschool lifesaver🏊‍♀️

    Sometimes, when you are homeschooling, you can feel very in over your head. In your mind everything will be great, your curriculum choices and instructional delivery will be impeccable and it will be delightful. Then reality comes and you feel hopeless like you are alone adrift at sea. This book is a valuable anchor, really a lifesaver to always gently guide you vack to port. The organization is excellent, the curriculum recommendations are on point, and the practical advise is genuine. Great resource.
