I purchased this book to replace the one I lent out and didn’t get back. Lol.
The Thomas Jefferson education philosophy is great and interesting at the same time. I definitely see these stages at work in my children.

See list below.DeMille argues that our public school system is a major component of the problem with education in America today. As a product of our public school system...one who has take more than 20 years to make up for this I found this book a vital read to every parent.With easy-to-follow guidelines and a take-control-of-your-children's-education approach you will learn how to mentor your children to succeed. Our society is in desperate need of leaders and A Thomas Jefferson Education shows you just how to make leaders of your children-by taking charge and leading.As a corporate marketing trainer I teach customers service and employee training classes. I see the need for self-motivated employees. I see the need for improved customer service across industries. I feel that the skills to succeed today are obtainable through personal study, reading, and education and DeMille builds the case and describes how to do it.If you really care about the success of your children get and read this book and as DeMille advises start reading classic literature and discuss what you learn with them and they will have the foundation to be the great people and great leaders that our country needs!
