More About the Author

Mary Pride is the publisher of Practical Homeschooling magazine and the author of numerous books on women's roles, homeschooling, educational software, parental rights, and new age thought from a conservative evangelical perspective. She is perhaps best known as the author of the first mass-market homeschool how-to book (The Big Book of Home Learning (1986), which won both the ECPA Gold Medallion and the Silver Angel Award). It has had five editions so far, under various names.

Often credited as a pioneer in the Christian Quiverfull movement, thanks to her groundbreaking book The Way Home (1985), Mary says she prefers the concept of an "Open Quiver"--families welcoming children with an open heart, but not competing over family size. To that end, she recently released a 25th Anniversary Edition of The Way Home, with an Afterthought that tackles topics--such as the Patriarchy movement and Quiverfull--that didn't exist when the book first came out. Now that her own nine children are grown, she hopes to come out with more books soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite MUST for all homeschoolers, May 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Schoolproof (Paperback)
I have contemplated homeschooling for quite a while, but I didn't know where to begin. I felt overwhelmed at the whole idea--until I read this book. Pride sets forth her philosophy of teaching and explains how we can empower our children with the tools they need that will eventually enable them to teach themselves. I wouldn't start or continue homeschooling without first reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd read this sooner, October 11, 2007
This review is from: Schoolproof (Paperback)
As with all the Mary Pride books I've read, I wish I'd read School Proof sooner. It would have saved me some experimentation in my homeschooling. I love the concept that simpler is better, and she really demystifies the process of education. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone thinking about homeschooling, or just starting out in homeschooling. This is my 7th year teaching my children, and School Proof served as a pleasant refresher for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Mary Pride!, April 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Schoolproof (Paperback)
If you need a "shot in the arm" as you homeschool, OR if you are trying to make a decision about whether or not to homeschool -- this is a wonderful book. We all need to remind ourselves about what we hope to teach our children. Also gives valuable pointers on making education a positive experience for parents and children.
