Book Reviews of So You're Thinking About Homeschooling: Fifteen Families Show How You Can Do It

Book Review: Cute, but also informative
Summary: 4 Stars

I borrowed this book from the library and found it very informative on different kinds of homeschooling and different ways that "families" do it (even if they're not real families). I liked that she explained, without going into excessive detail, Charlotte Mason, eclectic homeschooling, unschooling, etc. I am happy, however, that I borrowed this book and didn't pay for it... can't see myself needing to read it more than once.

Summary of So You're Thinking About Homeschooling: Fifteen Families Show How You Can Do It

Confused and intimidated by the complexities of homeschooling, many sincere parents never get past the "thinking about it" stage. Now Lisa Whelchel - herself a homeschooling mother of three - introduces fifteen real families and shows how they overcome the challenges of their unique homeschooling situations. This nuts-and-bolts 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 successfully homeschooling families in action will give parents the confidence to make their own dream of home-based education a reality.
