Product Description

This is the number one resource for home schooling that belongs on every parent's reference shelf. Drawing from years of experience as Senior Counsel of the Home School Legal Defense Association, Klicka provides information on: practical steps to successful home schooling, legal issues and steps to take to protect yourself from over zealous social workers, a candid analysis of public education, higher education's interest in home school graduates, and college success for home educated students. Foreword by D. James Kennedy, Ph.D.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent technical resource for homeschoolers, January 1, 1998
By A Customer
This book is an excellent resource for parents contemplating homeschooling. Many legal cases are referenced. Those of us sans law degree may find this tedious. Mr. Klicka does present an empassioned case in favor of home education though. You will refer to this volume over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A turning point book for those still undecided, December 29, 1999
Since I have been homeschooling for four years, some of the last chapters in the book we not new information for me, but the facts in the first section of the book really opened my eyes to what is going on in the public school system. I consider this book to be an excellent one to read for those who are still undecided about whether to homeschool or not. It's written by a man who knows what he's talking about - an homeschooling father and a homeschooling lawyer. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book, Extremely helpful, February 9, 2002
By A Customer
I loved this book, and gave copies to the grandparents to read. It was pleasant, easy reading from a Christian point-of-view (which I loved). I was absolutely shocked to discover all that is going on in the public schools today. Thanks be to God that my two children will never see the inside of one.

This book will open your eyes - big time - to the public school system. It's absolutely a must-read for anyone even considering sending their children to public school.

It is also a great book for doubters (grandparents, spouses, friends...). I wish I could hand this book out to people everywhere I go. People need to see what is happening in our public schools before blindly sending their children there.

Another excellent book for grandparents who are having a tough time with the homeschool decision is: "You're Going To Do WHAT?!" by Laurajean Downs. I loved this book, and it's perfect. There is an updated version with a 2000 or 2001 copyright date, so I'd get that one.

:) Blessings to all!
