usetoschool Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) I don't think it is available yet unless the release date is just for another edition or a previously available book. Looks interesting though. I think the woman is the founder of Classical Conversations? Edited May 4, 2010 by jcooperetc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're gonna get it, this would be a great time for her, because it's a pre-order. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelC Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Ah, well that would explain why it isn't available in my local library (silly me, didn't check the date :blush:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty-two Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I find one of the categories that Amazon has filed this book under to be rather funny: Education Theory -> Contemporary Methods -> Experimental :001_huh::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlifemom Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 *****DISCLAIMER****** I AM A CHALLENGE A DIRECTOR FOR CLASSICAL CONVERSATIONS. Just so you know where I am coming from, and no I don't make any money for promoting anything! :tongue_smilie: Whew! I enjoyed her other book Echo in Celebration: A Call Home-Centered Education Of course, I guess you could call me a follower. :D She is not secular. The premise of a classical Christian home education is not a singularly Classical Conversations idea, so I would think that anyone interested in this approach to homeschooling would enjoy it. She is an engineer and her writing style matches that. I really enjoy listening to her. She is inspiring. HTH :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrumm4448 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I think I heard someone at Practicum say buy the book over Memorial Day weekend. That way the large book outlets will notice her sales volume and carry the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 http://www.classicalconversations.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=170&Itemid=284 I think the link will clarify the question . One wishes this was in the squib at Amazon. What I have learned from Amazon, is that if it is about homeschooling and NOT unschooling, assume religious content until proven otherwise.

Very confident it will be with content from a Christian Worldview, since Classical Conversations exists "To know God and make Him known." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
