NEW BOOK

What is an ideal K-12 education, and how can we provide it to our children?

We send our children to school hoping that they will become insightful, knowledgeable, principled, independent, that they will learn to appreciate beauty, humility, and kindness.

This landmark book describes what every parent and teacher needs to know about K-12 education.
