MacCaulay 1984

MacCaulay, Susan Schaeffer. 1984.For the children's sake: Foundations of education for home and school. Wheaton, IL: Crossway. 165 pages. 089107290X. Interest level: general.

Discusses what education can be for children at home and in school. Is based on the understanding that all people have value, and that adults should be growing, learning, and living alongside children. Views education as the whole of life and does not limit it to what students receive in school. Describes a literature-based curriculum that will challenge the minds of children, and gives Biblically-based ideas about Christian discipline.

Gives good, practical suggestions to apply or adapt to many situations. Puts much emphasis on using rich literary works in English that would not be available or directly applicable in many developing countries.
