Summary: still the best source of balanced info. on home schooling
Review: As a scholar, working as an associate professor of cultural and interdisciplinary studies at Antioch College, I have a student population that contains a large number of home schooled students. Much has been published in recent years on home schooling, but this balanced collection remains the best source of information available on home schooling. It includes information on state regulation, historical context, the reality of particular family's experiences, the motivations of different groups heavily invested in home schooling, etc...For any academic undertaking a study of home schooling, for any parent considering home schooling of their own child or children, I highly recommend a serious reading of this definitive book.
