Homeschooling the Real Child (Live)

Listen and learn about Homeschooling the Real (Distractible, Impatient, Argumentative, Unenthusiastic, Non-Book-Loving, Inattentive, Poky, Vague) Child. High academic achievement (and particularly the book-centered kind of achievement recommended by classical educators) often seems designed for one kind of student: the mature, self-directed, disciplined child who loves to read. In this workshop, learn how to deal with the other 90% of students.

Susan Wise Bauer, classical educator, college instructor, and author, was homeschooled herself and has homeschooled her own four real children. Here she gives you practical strategies for dealing with roadblocks in the way of academic achievement, as well as time-tested advice for teaching to your child’s strengths while still addressing weaknesses.
