This was an interesting book on various aspects of homeschooling. It’s a compliation of questions, which are answered by a variety of homeschoolers, so a wide range of opinions and experience are expressed. I got some great ideas here, and there are also a few sections I intend to copy out, as I think they’d be good to share with family and friends who are resistent to the idea of homeschoolng.
A really good resource for those new to homeschooing.
