“The Question: Teaching Your Child the Essentials of a Classical Education” is the sequel to Leigh Bortins’ 2010 book, “The Core: Teaching Your Child the Foundations of a Classical Education”. In this second book on classical education, Bortins, a leading figure in the homeschooling community, explains how to foster an inquisitive spirit and challenge students with rigorous academics in the middle and early high school years. What The Core did for the grammar school stage of learning, The Question does for the dialectic stage, guiding parents through the essential questions that move students from consumers of information to analytical thinkers who engage actively with the world.
