If you can get past the terrible writing, this book is worth the read. The author is in the unusual position of being both a public school teacher and a homeschool teacher. This is not a guide on how to homeschool. It is not even a description of homeschooling. It is somewhat of a defense of homeschooling. Homeschoolers tend to score as well or better than their school counterparts on standardized tests. Homeschoolers are in a better position to individualize programs of study to each individual. Homeschoolers have had legal cases ruled in favor of their existence, so as not to conflict with freedom of belief. And that's about it.
