Customer Reviews

A waste of my time
This book is a weird mix of uber-classicist homeschooling and fundamentalist Christianity, which ultimately renders it completely useless. There is nothing in the description to indicate that this is a book for religious homeschoolers. But even those who believe that God wants them to homeschool their children (p.13) and that the leaders of a good homeschool organization need to be called by God (p.95) may find the contents of this book just too weird to stomach.

For instance: If you believe you need a teacher's desk, a daily record of attendance, and periodic achievement tests in order to homeschool properly (p.35), or that your child will make no progress if allowed to lie on the sofa in PJs and read until 11 AM (p.28), this is the book for you. Otherwise don't waste your time. Stick with Linda Dobson's "The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child" instead.
