Since I have been homeschooling for four years, some of the last chapters in the book we not new information for me, but the facts in the first section of the book really opened my eyes to what is going on in the public school system. I consider this book to be an excellent one to read for those who are still undecided about whether to homeschool or not. It's written by a man who knows what he's talking about - an homeschooling father and a homeschooling lawyer. I highly recommend it.

This book is an excellent resource for parents contemplating homeschooling. Many legal cases are referenced. Those of us sans law degree may find this tedious. Mr. Klicka does present an empassioned case in favor of home education though. You will refer to this volume over and over again.

I loved this book, and gave copies to the grandparents to read. It was pleasant, easy reading from a Christian point-of-view (which I loved). I was absolutely shocked to discover all that is going on in the public schools today. Thanks be to God that my two children will never see the inside of one.

This book will open your eyes - big time - to the public school system. It's absolutely a must-read for anyone even considering sending their children to public school.

It is also a great book for doubters (grandparents, spouses, friends...). I wish I could hand this book out to people everywhere I go. People need to see what is happening in our public schools before blindly sending their children there.

Another excellent book for grandparents who are having a tough time with the homeschool decision is: "You're Going To Do WHAT?!" by Laurajean Downs. I loved this book, and it's perfect. There is an updated version with a 2000 or 2001 copyright date, so I'd get that one.

:) Blessings to all!

This book is not a panacea for all homeschooling...But, it is a very good start, If you need really good information, look up Dr. Dennis Cuddy on Amazon or www.newswithviews.com

This book shows the unmatchable results of homeschooling. Homeschooling by far produces the best results at the lowest costs. Most people are unaware of the financial consequences resulting from the moral crisis in the public education. As public education students move into business, their lack of value for honesty and understanding of 'right from wrong' is putting entire economy at risk. Here is a great ebook that I found about how to Save Money Homeschooling. http://www.SaveMoneyHomeschooling.com

I just spent several minutes paging through this book to find out which States worked on the "Honor System" for homeschool parents. I knew I had read about it somewhere in THE RIGHT CHOICE but without an index I never found an answer my question. That experience was typical of the troubles I found with this book. Overall it was a hard book to follow because its thrust was American public schools vs homeschooling not any classroom education vs homeschooling. It included very little about the nuts and bolts of homeschooling and what advice it did include was strange. For instance, on Page 208 it says "If you have only one child, you should have a few more if at all possible."

Also, THE RIGHT CHOICE was so full of advertisements for the author's legal services that his point of view was compromised.
