Title: Disapointing
Review: This is an totally new version of a classic book. Instead of the classic work of Holt, much of it is a 'commentary' by the new author.I didn't like the 'new' version. I bought this to learn from Holt, not read someone's 'commentary." I grew frustrated that instead of letting me read what Holt wrote, there was a ton of the new author stating "Holt said in Teach your own...."Also, I didn't like that Farenga cut out big chunks of the book. ie he decided that we didn't 'need' to know about the histories of court rulings, and in one instance took the parent testimonials that Holt had used in one section the original book and added 'more moderntestimonials."I got so frustrated that I bought a used copy of the original from Amazon. I got it yesterday and have read almost all of it. The original is really great.The 'new' version reads as if was written by someone who really doesn't like unschooling.I would recomend the 'classic' version!
Is the review positive or negative?
