Why homeschool? What should you teach and how? What can you expect from the experience? These are only a few of the questions Caruana answers in this illuminating guide. A veteran home educator, she spells out the ABCs of homeschooling---Attitudes and Assumptions, The Basics, and Character and Cooperation---to help you make an informed decision about whether home education is right for your family.
The mothers in her children's play group all attended the same church, had similar interests, and held the same beliefs. Yet when the topic of schooling came up, they had differing ideas that always divided them: Vicki Caruana was the only one choosing to send her children to public school.
Vicki now homeschools--the choice that was furthest from her mind all those years ago--and she writes this book not to convince you that there is only one way to educate a child, but to share with you the stories of why various families have chosen to homeschool. While describing the life of a homeschooling family, she helps you discover your own assumptions about education and enables you to decide what method of schooling best matches the needs of your children.
If you're struggling with the education choice, this book can help. If you've already decided, this book can confirm--or challenge--your decision. In either case, take the time to read and ponder the possibilities. Your children are worth it.
