THE WELL EDUCATED MIND
As a product of the stultifying 1960's - '70's comprehensive education system, books such as these form the blade that helps me cut my mind out of the belittling strait jacket imposed by short sighted and begrudging public 'educationalists. Truly a wind of change.
Excellent Read
Excellent resource for those looking to home school or supplement their childs education. Very easy to read and contains many practical tips
