5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, and Straightforward, September 8, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Homeschooling: A Parents Guide to Teaching Children (Paperback)
I am an aide in an Illinois school, and I was appalled when I first started by how DUMBED-DOWN things are! Fourth graders are doing single digit addition and subtraction! I read this book and realized that my children are not going through such agony and boredom as the other unfortunate children in the public schools. This book gives reasons for shortcomings of the public school system, and makes for entertaining and enlightening reading. It is not a 'guide,' but it is certainly worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Homeschooling Works!, March 2, 2000
This review is from: Homeschooling: A Parents Guide to Teaching Children (Paperback)
I don't know of much of anyone besides the NEA who think that the public school system is working. I suspect that teachers and principals would want a lower student to teacher ratio. Just because you don't mind the govenment controlling what your kids learn doesn't mean that the rest of us have to.

The book is written by a Christian, and therefore Christian opinions and principles shouldn't and can't be avoided with regards to this topic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic author, great lessons to be learned, March 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Homeschooling: A Parents Guide to Teaching Children (Paperback)
Just what parents need today. This book is not for the left thinking, anti-religious, politicaly correct type. Mr Blumenfeld discusses the need for parents to get thier kids out of the public school system, and keep them from being brainwashed by the government.
