Tired of sending your kids to mediocre public schools, and worrying about growing threats of school violence? Can't afford a good private school? Then take charge of your child's education! Wise and Bauer offer a "parent's guide to a do-it-yourself, academically rigorous, comprehensive education -- a classical education." Reading, writing, grammar and mathematics form the core of this politically incorrect (but excellent) curriculum. The authors 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.
