 Written on September 29, 2000 Summary: Excellent! I am a home schooler with an eleven year old. I started homeschooling my child last year. I found, finding descent curriculums to be quite a challenge. I discovered the Core Knowledge series before the beginning of this school year. I purchased the fifth and sixth grade editions. However, when I went through the third grade edition I was amazed. I would like to see an average third grader, in these United States, that has the basis of what is in this book. Of course many people will find fault with it, as all people do. Whites will think it is minority favored, women will think it is male biased, and minorities will think it is lacking in their cultural history. Being a female of American Indian and multicultural background, I find the Core Knowledge series to be well rounded. I found the literature and history sections to be quite compelling. It is based on the literature that we grew up with. You might not agree with the choice of tales, but they are part of our historical background. I realize there are a number of people concerned with violence these days, I am one of those concerned...however the literature that we and our parents grew up with, is not the core of violence in the world. I loved the fact that the arts were included in the series. I believe that the lack of creative outlet, is one of the biggest downfalls in the educational system today. Children have no outlets. Music is being irradicated, along with the rest of the arts, yet here it is. Obviously someone else feels the arts have an important role in a balanced education. I also have a 23 year old and from what I have experienced over the years, our educational system is crumbling. I applaud the Core Knowledge series, I find it to be a wonderful addition to my child's homeschooling curriculum. It has reintroduced a well rounded education to our family. I do believe, that in order to receive the full benefits of the Core Knowledge series, you need to start at the beginning. Each year of the series has references to years prior. They are building blocks to education, isn't that a nice perspective for a change? I think so! Written on May 29, 1999 Summary: I found this book very helpfull. My son is in a public school that has breaks and half-day school almost every week. This book helped me figure out what he really needed to know at his level and in those breaks we were able to complete most of them for him to remain at his grade level compared to the private schools. Plus it encouraged him to read about other books with similar topics. However, I wish the author could site some further references for the curious minds. Overall this book is very essential. Written on February 19, 1998 Summary: Excellant reference material. We are first year homeschoolers and found this book quite helpful in determining what we should be teaching our children and in what grade. These books are written so that the child can read them and are written in such a way as to hold their interest. |
