"Strengths of Their Own, Brian D. Ray's remarkable book about the home schooling movement, is must reading for educators and policy-makers alike. ..... The book is a perfectly spiced stew: it has everything. Hard data ... Students' scores ... Statistical analysis ... Testing policies ... And wisdom the benefit of Dr. Ray's long, intense commitment and involvement with home education. [And] it's in the `strengths of home education' section of Strengths of Their Own that the book really takes off." -- Bruce S. Cooper, Ph.D., Professor, Division of Administration, Policy, and Urban Education, Fordham University, New York NY.

"Unique, factual, and powerful. In Dr. Ray's Strengths of Their Own we find that parents who take personal responsibility for the education and socialization of their children reap a harvest of exceptional children who are well-prepared to lead this country into the next century. All parents who care and anyone with a stake in the issue of home education must read this book." Michael P. Farris, J.D., President, Home School Legal Defense Association
