Summary: No need for public school
Comment: This book is subversive in today's American culture. It teaches the traditional knowledge and values of Western Civilization. If you read this book and use it with your children, they will be immune to the propaganda of the usual American public school education and will have many problems with their teachers in school - at best they will only be bored, at worst they will end up diagnosed ADHD, on Ritalin and in special education classes at which time they will be throwaway students. Public school education today is all about ecology, multiculturalism and one world government. The 3 R's and individuality are not emphasized in government schools. Be prepared to homeschool your kids all the way thru school if you teach them anything from this book.

Summary: Stop here to help improve your child's education
Comment: This author is one of my favorites and he has a very low key, no nonsense approach to education. In this book, he seems to state that education is not just for school, but occurs primarily in the home and needs to remain that way. There are many suggestions and ideas that are easy to incorporate into just about any family routine. In addition to that, there are lists of suggested curriculum for each grade. To conclude, there are several chapters that deal with problems that one may encounter such as difficulties with homework or teachers and some ideas on how to solve them. I truly enjoyed reading this book and have kept it as a reference for ideas for during the summer. It's easy to look at the curriculum and come up with fun activities to try with my kids.

Summary: A great book
Comment: For the past 20 years, Chester Finn has been a behind the scenes and in some cases, in front of the crowd leader for most of the great education reforms that have occurred in the past 20 years. Having had the great fortune to be one of Finn's students at Vanderbilt many years ago, I have had a chance to read the plethora of great books and articles that Finn has published. This is another in that series. Don't just buy this book go back and buy all his books. Finn is a great academic who is blessed with an ability to communicate to the common person.
Finn may talk about the education that children receive but he is the best educator a parent can ever find. We are expecting our first grandchild in a few weeks and I want my daughter to read every book that Professor Finn ha written. It will ensure the success of my grandchild's future.
