Editorial Reviews
From Independent Publisher
If you can choose only two books on home education, I recommend Home School: Taking the First Step and The Home School Manual, by Theodore E. Wade et al. (Auburn, CA: Gazelle Publications). Both cover the same ground and do it well. Home education is a growing phenomenon on the American scene. Spurred by John Holt (How Children Fail, Teach Your Own), Raymond and Dorothy Moore (School Can Wait), and many others, home educators claim that almost no matter what they do, they do it better than traditional schools. Love of learning among their kids is preserved, say home educators; the kids learn at their own pace, learn what they need when they need it, and nearly always outperform their schooled counterparts at all levels of measurement from achievement tests to socialization skills. This book has what you'd expect from a good handbook: solid advice and good resource lists. Public libraries should buy it: They all have local home schoolers, whether they know it or not. And bookstores probably will be surprised at how fast it moves. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

"With Hendrickson's clear and thorough guidance, confusion and ignorance will melt and clarity of purpose will bloom. The author's intention is to guide and encourage home schooling parents into greater confidence and effectiveness, and to this end, she succeeds resoundingly. Even if you've read them all, this book will aid and enlighten you to a degree that few others do."
