4.0 out of 5 stars If you're doubting home schooling!, January 27, 2003
By A Customer
I thought that this book was a very interesting study. It certainly reveals the benefits of allowing the child to develop at their own pace and in relationship to their lives.

I would love to know what happened to these children and learn more about the relationship between the parents.

My main concern was the seemingly obsessive nature of many of the children.

It's definately time for a follow up book!

5.0 out of 5 stars How to bring up your children to be 'Child Prodigies', October 22, 1997
By A Customer
Average parents dedicate their lives to the careful raising of their children. Their methods of teaching when the child's 'window of learning' is open, pays huge dividends as each child excels. One enters university in his early teens and another becomes an accomplished pianist before the age of ten. A parental "must read" book!

4.0 out of 5 stars don't believe everything you read, January 24, 2005
By chicha (Brazil) - See all my reviews
I find this book inspiring but it raises many questions mainly why the secrecy now, when it was so long ago? What really happened to "the children"?

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise review,
First, know that the names of the family in the book are not real, and so to wonder and query on the current activities of this family is very difficult. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating story, no conclusions
Fascinating tale of a "child-centered" couple and their four home-schooled children. Raises some questions (in my mind, not much in the book) about the purposes of education and... Read more
