  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;&quot;Outstanding...should be on every home educator's reference bookshelf.&quot;&amp;#151;&lt;I&gt;Homeschooling Today&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;  &lt;P&gt;This book will instruct you, step by step, on how to give your child an academically rigorous, comprehensive education from preschool through high school. Two veteran home educators outline the classical pattern of education&amp;#151;the trivium&amp;#151;which organizes learning around the maturing capacity of the child's mind: the elementary school &quot;grammar stage,&quot; the middle school &quot;logic stage,&quot; and the high school &quot;rhetoric stage.&quot; Using the trivium 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.  &lt;P&gt;Newly revised and updated, &lt;I&gt;The Well-Trained Mind&lt;/I&gt; includes detailed book lists with complete ordering information; up-to-date listings of resources, publications, and Internet links; and useful contacts.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is not a book to borrow from the library.  This is a book that I had to own.  Reading it is like eating an elephant...one bite at a time.  Fortunately, it's a really good, really useful, really well-written elephant.<br/><br/>When I first read <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/115572.The_Well_Trained_Mind_A_Guide_to_Classical_Education_at_Home_Revised_and_Updated_Edition" title="The Well-Trained Mind  A Guide to Classical Education at Home, Revised and Updated Edition by Susan Wise Bauer">The Well-Trained Mind</a>, I found it daunting.

    <body><![CDATA[An absolute necessity if you're thinking of homeschooling.  The classical education is a complete philosophy of how to's for your child.<br/><br/>Really great!  Highly recommended!<br/><br/>Admittedly, I haven't gotten through the whole book.  I read as I go along.  :)]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As a classical homeschooling family this is a &quot;must have&quot; on our bookshelf.  Great resource...though sometimes her recommended materials are not readily available and I often use different materials.  This is a great overall book to get your mind around the classical approach.  It also has...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43131174">more...</a>]]></body>

She spends one very short chapter saying you cannot ignore religion in education, that your faith informs your worldview and therefore should inform your education, and yet proceeds to ignore religion and faith entirely in her discussion of education.<br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46242299">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the first time I have looked at this how-to of homeschooling.  It is well-organized and easy to follow, and has a ton of useful information.  I gleaned some handy and important things from this book, particularly ideas on how to cover logic.  However, I disagree with her on several points (h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71537569">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So far, I'm a little excited and a little intimidated by this book. How realistic is it to teach a child from birth with EVERY child? I did most of the things with Sarah even before she left my body, and she started reading when she was three. By then we had Zack, but I had too many other things goi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68147216">more...</a>]]></body>
