Summary: Thorough and jam-packed with helpful information!
Review: If you are interested in homeschooling but are overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of curricula, how-to books, and general opionion, this book is for you. Mary Pride is a homeschool veteran with wit and wisdom for the homeschooling novice. Every time I have a question-and that's often-I find what I need in this book. Included is an exhaustive list of organizations, curriculum choices and reviews, supplemental books, websites, conferences, and well organized and detailed information and getting started with success. I especially like the extensive up-to-date data on homeschooling and comparative research that has been compiled here. In other words, if it's not in here, it's probably not worth knowing! If you are considering teaching your children at home, this should be the first resource you purchase.

Summary: Wonderful resource for beginner or veteran
Review: This is the best resource for finding all the information you need to start homeschooling, or to supplement a public school student's learning (afterschooling). If you don't know how to go about it, or even if you are an expert homeschooler looking for the latest in curriculum and methods... this is an excellent resource. I have been buying this series of books each time it comes out, and every time there is something new that I learn, and that I add to our learning regime. It truly is the most authoritive, and up-to-date homeschooling (or after-schooling) information available out there. If you are just starting... this is the one to get! It will help you locate just what you need, and whittle down the vast choices to those that suit you and your needs quickly. Highly recommended. :)
