The Well-Trained Mind [antikvár]

WH AT THE WELL-TRAINED MIND DOES: AN OVERVIEW If you're fortunate, you live near an elementary school fiiled with excellent teachers who are dedicated to developing your child's skills in read-ing, writing, arithmetic, history, and science. These teachers have small classes—no more than ten students—and can give each student plenty of attention. The elementary school sits next to a middle school that is safe (no drugs, guns, or knives). This school alsó has small classes; the teachers train their students in logic, critical thinking, and advanced writing. Plenty of one-on-one instruction is offered, especially in writing. And in the distance (not too far away) is a high school that will take older students through world history, the classics of literature, the techniques of advanced writing, high-level mathematics and science, debate, art history, and music appreciation (not to mention vocational and technical training, résumé preparation, and job-hunting skills). This book is for the rest of us.
