5.0 out of 5 stars
best home school resource around,
By mamahobbit (Maybee, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practical Homeschooling (Magazine)
Back 15 years ago when I started homeschooling our oldest daughter, Mary Pride was my best mentor, thanks to her Practical Homeschooling magazine and the curriculum reviews in her Big Book series. Now with two home school graduates and five kids still plugging away at it, I still look to her for help as I face the new challenges that each unique child presents.
Practical Homeschooling represents without a doubt the very cutting-edge of the home school movement. No matter where you are in your home school journey, this magazine will help, whether you're a concerned relative who's wondering about socialization, or a scared newbie wondering where to begin, or a harried mom ready to give up, or a veteran hitting a new stage. Need help getting started? It's there. Finding a curriculum review? She's got it. High school issues? Yup. College testing? Uh, huh. Managing teaching with a baby at the breast & a toddler on your hip? She's been there, done that! Something that's unique about this magazine, compared to others, is that it isn't afraid to use humor and or tackle controversial topics. Nor does it espouse a single educational philosophy. While you won't find lesson plans here, you will find a wide range of ideas and approaches. My experience is that, while I think I know the "right way" to teach, sometimes I encounter another viewpoint that entices me to look in a different direction. While I may not always find the guest columnist's views compatable with my own home school, it helps broaden my horizons & understand the other home schoolers in my circle who may not be "like" me. Well worth the reasonable subscription rate!!!

Dittos from a grandmother,
By
This review is from: Practical Homeschooling (Magazine)
I just read all of the currently posted reviews and will just say dittos to all! I met PHS at my daughter's home when she was a beginning home schooling mom about 1990 or so. I have been subscribing ever since just to keep informed and because I thoroughly enjoy its appearance in the mail and then reading most of every issue. It also just gives me a plain old good, warm, feeling about what is going on with the families and young people who are coming up to be the next adult generation.
I taught in a pretty good public school system for 25 years and our 5 children attended Lutheran elementary and high schools, but if I could do it over I would love the joy and privilege of teaching them myself with PHS to help and encourage along the way.

PHS has helped us for 15 yrs. so far!,
This review is from: Practical Homeschooling (Magazine)
PHS magazine has helped us tremendously over the 15 yrs. we've been homeschooling so far. There were no personal computers and world wide web when we first started our hsing adventure... just our monthly connection with the hsing world via this magazine. I would wait for its timely arrival each month, devouring every page within the first 24 hrs. after it arrived. Still, to this day, I rely on PHS's curriculum and product reviews. They have NEVER steered us wrong in all these years. The yearly vote of "favorites" from PHS subscribers is invaluable too, in decision making re: purchases of curriculum. A long-time columnist of PHS helped us to decide which pkg. curriculum to use for our high schoolers and we're on our second hs high school graduate with that same company. Our firstborn just graduated from a prestigious private college here in the U.S. with a 3.97 GPA, 4 yrs. on the college's dean's list, 2 yrs. on the National Dean's List, and the 2005 Wall Street Journal Award for Excellence in Business. None of this would have happened had it not been for homeschooling our children through high school... and we could have never done that without the immeasurable help of Practical Homeschooling magazine.
