review 1: Gleaned some good nuggets from this in a book discussion group with other homeschool moms. This is a practical companion guide to the more philosophical A Thomas Jefferson Education. Read that one first, and if it intrigues you, follow up with this one. However, don't feel compelled to implement every idea presented, rather, take what works for you and your family. My kids are now in the "scholar" phase, and this book presented some inspiring tips for structuring study time, encouraging independent responsibility, and establishing expectations. Lofty goals in these pages, but if you want to raise a leader, then prayerfully consider the challenges laid out by the authors.
review 2: This book is incredible. It took me a long time to get through it, and I f... moreelt very overwhelmed at times, but it is a book that will change the way our family functions and thinks. I cried as I read the CODA - the last bit about grandparenting. It is a beautiful book with good principles and outlines for teaching and leading. I come away with a greater desire to search out and define my own mission in life, and to help my children seek out theirs. There are a few ideas that I don't agree with completely, but this is my path, and the author clearly emphasizes that Leadership Education is all about finding our own way and becoming "the expert on your home or classroom." I would recommend this book to everyone - homeschooling or not, parent or not. less
