3.0 out of 5 stars Thorough but hard to use, October 26, 2002

By	Audrey Minnow "audreyminnow" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

The most annoying thing about this book is the constant reference to two Internet sites: [one of which] is very user-unfriendly and already contains broken links, and [the other], which appears not even to exist anymore. With such a recently published book I would have expected some kind of a forwarding address or apology at the missing site; it's misleading to promise further information that can't be delivered.

That said, the book does deliver a very thorough survey of various homeschool methods and teaching strategies. This thoroughness can be a little overwhelming at times, but it's up to date and is a definite improvement on older books that mention only three or four homeschooling styles. I never did figure out exactly how the "100 toughest problems" fits into all this, though; considering the format of the book (50 strategies for this, 60 approaches to that), it would have made sense to have another chapter just for those!

Worth a look, but not as great as it could have been.

5.0 out of 5 stars So You've Got an Unsupportive In-Law?, March 26, 2004

By	"mothermeghan" (Effingham, Illinois) - See all my reviews

Of all the homeschooling books I own (and I own alot) this is absolutely the best one for slapping down in front of an unsupportive family member (or neighbor) to prove you're doing the right thing.

The authors' research is awesome. Their listing of approaches to homescholing is the MOST comprehensive that anyone has ever done. (By the way, the Amazon listing here is wrong. There are two authors, and the "Your Child" is not part of the title. Maybe this is a new edition?)

Anyway, I can't say enough about how terrific this book is. You could adopt some new approach every week for your child's ENTIRE homeschool experience and still have enough options left over to keep your GRANDKIDS excited about schooling!

Whether your kids are preschool age or ready for college, this book will improve your homeschooling experience.

If you can't buy a copy today, do what I did: go to your local library and ask for one. It'll become so valuable you'll definitely want a copy for your home library!

2.0 out of 5 stars Information is missing, May 16, 2005

By	Mom of two "Jess" (APO, AP United States) - See all my reviews

What information that is in the books is wonderful. I was really excited to read though the book. A lot the information they said would be on their website that wasn't in the book, like curriculum reviews. The problems that the links don't work. It only contains a link to buy the book you probably already own. It is a real let down.
