This review is from: Schooling Choices (Paperback)

What makes Schooling Choices so helpful is that it approaches the same topic from several different angles. Proponents of public school, private school and homeschool all respond to the same battery of questions. Then they respond to each others' responses. The book is specifically aimed at giving insight to Christians deciding on the best place to educate their children. The tone is respectful yet forthright.

I,thankfully, first read this book when our oldest child was in preschool. My spouce and I, both being educated in private schools, planned to follow the same route with our own children. When I read the first section of Schooling Choices, about public schools, I took notes, thinking some very good points were brought up. When I read the next section, on private schools, I felt confirmation for our plans to school that way. Then, when I read the final section, on homeschooling, I became convinced that this was the method for us.

It was assuring to know that this change of plans was not brought about by some convincing speaker or group dynamic, but by a careful assessment of the issues. Five years later, I am as convinced as ever that the decision was the right one for us, and was greatly aided by Schooling Choices. I also believe that different people could come away from reading the book with other decisions that would be just as right for them.

H. Wayne House has done parents a great service by researching and editing Schooling Choices.
