The Well-Trained Mind is a book that uses the "classical" approach to home educating your children. The Classical method been around for a long time (Abe Lincoln and Ben Franklin were educated with this method) going back all the way to the time of the ancient greeks. It got replaced by "modern" education a little more than a hundred years ago, but before that it's the way all children all over the globe learned. Anyhow, it's the method I use and this book is one of the best instruction manuals on the classical approach - it's just excellent. My kids have benefitted beyond what words can express from using this approach - I've been doing it this way since my oldest was starting Kindergarten. Now I'm teaching the three boys with it and it's just amazing.Kempizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01272055060798366152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339764461258813702.post-51112245004627987102009-09-16T04:36:41.330-07:002009-09-16T04:36:41.330-07:00Thanks for the book recommendation Karla.
