I really wanted to...I also admire Susan Wise Bauer. I really wanted to hear her speak at a homeschooling conference but both times she was on the East Coast I was unable to go.<BR/><BR/>I was fortunate to be able to buy some (gently) used conference lecture tapes of Susan Wise Bauer from other homeschoolers. It turns out she is not only a good writer but an EXCELLENT speaker with both a great speaking voice and also she knows how to speak publically well. Her lectures are jammed with great information. I learned more things from the lectures than from reading The Well Trained Mind. I also like that I can listen to the tapes repeatedly. They make great listening while on car drives (sans children) and I love to listen to them while doing otherwise boring housework.<BR/><BR/>I advise that you get ahold of some of her conference tapes if you can. The lecture handouts are available on TWTM website if you want to browse through them to see what the content of the lectures is, to pick some to buy.<BR/><BR/>One of my favorites is how to teach science. The lecture on homeschooling high school is also great.ChristineMMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388497877158577422noreply@blogger.com
