Discover the Diversity of Homeschooling Confused and intimidated by the complexities of homeschooling, many parents assume it could never work for them. Now an updated edition of So You're Thinking About Home Schooling by Lisa Whelchel--herself a homeschooling mother of three--introduces to readers fifteen composite portraits of homeschooling families who show how every family can successfully face the unique challenges of its situation. The story-based approach deals with common questions of time management, teaching weaknesses, and outside responsibilities, as well as children's age variations, social and sports involvement, learning disabilities, and boredom. Seeing a wide variety of homeschooling families in action gives parents the information and confidence they need to make their own decisions about home-based education. Includes a new chapter from Lisa and an all-new resource guide with recommendations from real-life homeschooling families! "I'm Thinking About Homeschooling" You're also probably thinking, But can I really teach my children? Where do I start? What if I need to work outside the home? Must I have twelve children, raise goats, and bake my own bread? And what about socialization? I could tell you the answers to these questions, but I would rather show you. Beginning with my own, I want to introduce you to fifteen families in fifteen unique situations who have all chosen to homeschool for different reasons, using a variety of learning methods. So... let's rap lightly on the homeschool door and peek inside before we decide if we are ready to move in! Story Behind the Book "My hope is that by the end of the book, and a stroll through the neighborhood, you will feel more confident as you identify a family situation and teaching method that resonates with your personality and philosophy of education. From there, you can simply look to the end of each chapter to find a sample schedule for the homsechool day and list of curriculum suggestions for that particular teaching method." --Lisa __________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Deciding if homeschooling is right for your family just got easier with this warm, entertaining, information-packed portrayal of its flexibility, diversity, triumphs, and challenges. Grab a cup of tea and enjoy!" --Linda Dobson, author of The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child… (mais)

I enjoyed the style/presentation and learned so many more reasons for homeschooling. ( )

If you can get past the Christians slant and the ridiculous terms such as "prayer warriors" that keep interrupting the text, you will find some value in these composite interviews of 15 homeschooling parents. Although the descriptions of the various homeschooling methods don't go into as much detail as I would like, these stories will help you arrive at a decision as to whether or not homeschooling is right for your child. The stories do you identify pros and cons of homeschooling such as allowing your child to proceed to his or her own pace and keeping them away from the pressure of their peers which might lead them to do such things as actually feel like they need to be listening to Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez. Another virtue of this book is that it is quite short and can easily be read in an afternoon. ( )

While the Focus on the Family blurb initially put me off, this is a good resource for anyone considering homeschooling for secular or religious reasons. Based on interviews with many homeschooling families, each chapter deals with a different scenario for homeschooling - unschooling, textbook-based, video-based, computer-based, etc. A good read for people who want to explore all the various ways of homeschooling.

GREAT book! It presented lots of different families (single moms, lots of kids, only children, etc.) with lots of different styles of schooling. I highly recommend this book for anyone considering HS'ing. ( )
