Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book was written with a lot of love and many prayers by its contributors. We think you will thoroughly enjoy it!!!" -- Lifetime Books & Gifts’ The Always Incomplete Resource Guide

"The two most important concepts we wish we had known at the beginning are that homeschool is not 'school at home' and that real education is a marathon--not a sprint." --Steve and Jane Claire Lambert

"We discovered together that the best teacher was the experience of life itself." --Michael and Susan Card

"What I wish I had known in that first year is that God has gone before me in my children's hearts and minds. . .As bearers of God's image, they come to my home possessing intelligence, curiosity, and creativity." --Sally Clarkson

5.0 out of 5 stars Listening to those who know what they are talking about, December 29, 1999
This is a compilation of several veteran homeschoolers who have varied teaching styles. They tell of their experiences, mistakes and what they know now regarding their homeschooling adventure. I was especially touched by the homeschooling family that spend every day at their dying father's deathbed. And the homeschooling mom who is in a wheelchair. I like to learn from those who know now what they wished they had known then. Stories are short with a picture of family or homeschooling parents with each story. A great "to own" book!

By A Customer
Have you ever wished you could sit down with more than 50 veteran homeschoolers and 'pick their brains' ? Well, "Things We Wish We'd Known" does just that. Each essay is written in a straight forward, clear format and gives you insight, inspiration and practical advice. You can't go wrong with this book !

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, July 25, 2003
By CAC (OH United States) - See all my reviews
I just finished this book and I truly loved it! I have marked several of the stories for future reference. The book also includes a wonderful listing of resources (websites, e-mail addresses and phone numbers) for the contributing writers. I would highly recommend it.
