Surely the answer to the failures of No Child Left Behind and the Core Curriculum lies in educating the individual child. A lockstep curriculum that ignores each child’s special strengths sets too many students up to fail. “Studying to the test” fails to give children an in-depth awareness of important principles. Filling children’s heads with quickly forgotten facts without building upon their natural enthusiasm for learning creates burnout, rebellion, and one-sided graduates who are inadequately prepared for the challenges of college and adult life. This book explains why a balanced, highly individualized curriculum that includes educating children’s hearts as well as their minds nurtures highly engaged, happy students who perform brilliantly in school.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTestimonials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e“I feel honored to be connected, however indirectly, to Living Wisdom School.
