For years, the homeschooling, TV-free, and anti-vaccine movements have been regarded by most as lifestyles for fanatics and zealots. Mass media has continued to portray families who choose these lifestyles as outsiders and oddballs, even though homeschooling has been growing at a rate of 7%-12% per year, and most homeschooling families are in the upper middle class with both parents having advanced degrees. Unvaccinated, Homeschooled, and TV-Free: It's Not Just for Fanatics and Zealots, will show you why it is so important that you think for yourself, research for yourself, and have the courage to believe that you are right. This is a book for educators, parents, parents-to-be, and anyone who cares about the health, well-being, and future of children. In most ways, Julie Cook lives a typical mainstream life, complete with high-tech career, multiple degrees and a suburban lifestyle. But, she's making non-mainstream decisions for her daughter. In this book, she describes her decision-making process, and the facts that led her to these alternative choices. In the end she says, "I never care that people arrive at the same conclusions that I did. I only care that they personally put in a level of effort that corresponds to the importance of the decision."

About the Author

Julie Cook is a part-time writer focusing mainly on homeschooling and unschooling. Her most important job, however, is being a mom to her daughter, Genevieve. Unvaccinated, Homeschooled and TV-Free: It's Not Just for Fanatics and Zealots is the culmination of five years of research. The original intent of the research was to provide Genevieve with information to help her understand why she is being raised differently than most children she will encounter. Julie is currently working on a second edition of this book, along with a children's book series.

Very validating book!

Awesome book. Have had it for years now and still refer back to it. She doesn't make you feel guilty if you don't agree with every thing. We don't homeschool, however, we are vaccine-free.

This book, for me, puts an end to feeling bullied into being called an "anti-vaxxer" and encourages me to refer to myself as "pro-information" instead of "pro-vaccines".

the book was in great shape. very nice seller - left a note in the book thanking me!. great service. sticky packaging on the back of the book, though

the book focuses more on homeschooling for younger children. It's a quick read- only took me about an hour and half to get through the whole book. Very insightful ideas and a good read though. Great starter book for beginning to study homeschooling, vaccines, the affect of TV, etc.

Good quick read

I enjoyed this book. It is a great book to get you thinking about some basic decisions that most people just go with the flow with, without questioning alternatives. She explains in a non emotional evidence based way why she chose to raise her child this way. I think whomever gets this book should read it with an open mind. Don't feel bad or beat yourself about decisions you have already made but consider new options.

Well written

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2019

I really enjoyed reading this book. The author does a fantastic job of explaining herself and using only facts and data to back up her conclusions. I love how she wrapped everything up at the end and tried to encourage her readers to research for themselves and to feel confident in their unconventional decisions. While I didn’t agree with *everything* in her homeschool section, I agreed with pretty much all of the principles she was getting across. Just maybe not all of the methods of execution. And that’s ok. Ultimately I would recommend this book.

So much good information I've never considered!

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019

Rarely does a young parent have the courage to question mainstream culture and parenting. Julie Cook did just that. Questioning led to insight, wisdom, and a better path for herself and her daughter. I am confident my adult children will enjoy exploring the same path as they read this remarkable book. – Brett Wilcox
