Review
“An excellent resource for any family.” (Educational Freedom Press)
“[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').” (The New Yorker)
“An 'A' for Home Schooling... a remarkable compendium of information designed to help home-schooling parents give their children a traditional liberal education.” (City Journal)
“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.” (Robert Holland - Richmond Times Dispatch)
“Has caused a revolution within the homeschool community.” (The Old Schoolhouse Magazine)
“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.” (The Boox Review)
“An invaluable road map.” (The Daily Democrat)
