Awaking Wonder

As a teacher, I noticed several concepts that my colleagues and I have discussed for a several years now. (e.g. Genius Time, Project Based Learning, etc.) It had never occurred to me that parents may not realize these are goals for teachers across the country. There some points about the way school works that were a bit outdated. However, I think this book can open some good conversations between the public and schools.
I'm glad Sally has written this book, so parents can dream about what a wonder-filled life might look like for them and their children. I'm glad Sally discussed the work inside a parent that is necessary. These are concepts that each family can work into their lives no matter what their education choices are. However, there were times when the personal stories made it hard for me to see that. I am not a home-school mom, so it was easy for me to feel overwhelmed by all of the things she did that I can't do. However, when I stepped back and thought about the overarching message, it was easier for me to re-frame the concepts into what would work for my family.
The ideas are great, but some of the details were overwhelming.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.
