Homeschooling: A Parents Guide to Teaching Children

Rating:
Summary: Good information but argumentative and has attitude problems
Review: Unlike the subtitle suggests, this isn't much of a guide for parents to help them teach children, but rather a discussion about the concept of homeschooling and arguments for homeschooling.

I found that the book tended to ignore the value of children's emotional growth (rather than academic/intellectual growth), is US-centric, anti-sexuality education, pro-conservative religious education, and resorts to emotional arguments to support homeschooling.

Despite these attitude problems, the foundation of the book is good; it gives good reasons and supporting argument for homeschooling, encourages parents to do so, and supports the idea that all parents can homeschool if they choose to; you don't need to be a qualified teacher, you merely need to have the love and respect for your child to do what is best.
