The Educated Child defines education and offers parents a plan of action for ensuring that their children achieve it.
The Educated Child defines education and offers parents a plan of action for ensuring that their children achieve it. Merging the goals that William Bennett enumerated as Secretary of Education, key excerpts from E. D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge Collection, and the latest research, it places forth clear curricula and specific objectives for children from kindergarten through the eighth class, including:
-What children should be learning and the sort of work they must be doing
-Important facts to learn and essential reading lists
-When children should excel at specific mathematics skills, spelling and sentence structure basics, and methodical facts
-Test preparation, homework, and other areas that require parental involvement
The Educated Child also examines timely issues such as college choice, sex education, figure education, and the phonics/complete language question. Perhaps most significant, it induces parents to become advocates because of their children by learning what to look for in a good college, how to speak to educators, and how, when necessary, to press for needed changes. For parents worried about their children's current education and future lives, it's the ultimate handbook.
