Book excerpt: This intimate, eminently practical memoir of a successful homeschooled family of six children illuminates today’s most exciting choice in education, and shows how it works from cradle to college. What is it that homeschoolers do that the public schools can’t or won’t? There are at least as many answers as there are studies. But nothing can capture the homeschooling experience in all its richness like the story of a real family that homeschools its children in middleclass America. Homeschooling: A Family’s Journey is the perfect book for those millions of Americans who may know someone who homeschools, who may have read about it, thought about it, and wondered whether homeschooling is right for them. Sharing the concerns of committed parents everywhere, authors Gregory and Martine Millman are consistently practical, informed, caring, and no-nonsense in their approach. They pay special attention to homeschooling and college, the economics of home-learning, and how a parent can really handle a child’s full education. Homeschooling opens a window on an exciting, important way of education—and, even more, a way of life—that can make all the difference in your family’s world.

Book Synopsis The Year of Learning Dangerously by : Quinn Cummings
Download or read book The Year of Learning Dangerously written by Quinn Cummings and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think homeschooling is only for a handful of eccentrics on either end of the political spectrum? Think again. Today in America, two million primary- and secondary-school students are homeschooled. Growing at a rate of 10 percent annually, homeschooling represents the most dramatic change in American education since the invention of the mimeograph—and the story has only just begun. In The Year of Learning Dangerously, popular blogger, author, and former child actor Quinn Cummings recounts her family’s decision to wade into the unfamiliar waters of homeschooling—despite a chronic lack of discipline, some major gaps in academic knowledge, and a serious case of math aversion. (That description refers to Quinn.) Trying out the latest trends, attending key conferences (incognito, of course), and recounting the highlights and lowlights along the way, Quinn takes her daughter’s education into her own hands, for better and for worse. Part memoir, part social commentary, and part how-not-to guide, The Year of Learning Dangerously will make you laugh and make you think. And it may or may not have a quiz at the end. OK, there isn’t a quiz. Probably.

Now the Colfaxes tell how all parents can become involved in homeschooling.

And that's you. You are the parent. But now you are the teacher too. That is potentially an enormous problem on the motivation front. Picture this: What happens when you end up in lots of battles with the kids? The kids aren't interested. They don't want to learn. You are tearing your hair out. This is their future ...Can't they realize that? What if they don't get any exams or qualifications? They will have failed. And you will have failed too.

Dealing with common homeschool problems like this plea: "Desperate for enlightenment. My kid refuses to do any work" , the book contains indispensable homeschooling help for all homeschoolers, old and new alike. And, since giving your child the best start in life is something we all have in common, you will find the advice here applies worldwide whether you call it homeschooling or, as in the UK, home education. Based on unique experience from one of the few second generation homeschool families and suggestions from more than 8,500 Facebook fans, Secrets of Success will show you: What makes a good homeschool teacher Practical steps to keep your kids motivated and in love with learning How to make a homeschool schedule which works for all of you How to deal with the potential nightmare of homeschooling high school and the responsibility of motivating kids through exams At all times practical, this upbeat guide is essential reading whatever homeschooling method you follow. Whether you stick to a strict schedule with clear academic targets, decide on relaxed homeschooling, or let your child lead the way and unschool, this guide will teach you the essential steps to success using real-life insights from homeschoolers who have 'been there and done that.' With a homeschool son now going to Oxford University and a daughter following an unschooling route as a talented artist, the author argues that most parents misunderstand what makes young people motivated.

Uncovering the five common motivational mistakes made by parents, the book concludes by proving that the academic route is not the only path to homeschooling success. Drawing on inspiration from leading educationalists like John Holt, Ken Robinson, Charlotte Mason and Maria Montessori, you will find a wealth of practical help so that you can make homeschooling the best and most fulfilling thing you've ever done. "It is time to think outside the box and teach your child to embrace a life of learning. This book will give you the tools to do that." Lisa Vaught "Great book, very encouraging and supportive."

Book Synopsis Homeschooling the Right by : Heath Brown
Download or read book Homeschooling the Right written by Heath Brown and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four decades, the number of conservative parents who homeschool their children has risen. But unlike others who teach at home, conservative homeschool families and organizations have amassed an army of living-room educators ready to defend their right to instruct their children as they wish, free from government intrusion. Through intensive but often hidden organizing, homeschoolers have struck fear into state legislators, laying the foundations for Republican electoral success. In Homeschooling the Right, the political scientist Heath Brown provides a novel analysis of the homeschooling movement and its central role in conservative efforts to shrink the public sector. He traces the aftereffects of the passage of state homeschool policies in the 1980s and the results of ongoing conservative education activism on the broader political landscape, including the campaigns of George W. Bush and the rise of the Tea Party. Brown finds that by opting out of public education services in favor of at-home provision, homeschoolers have furthered conservative goals of reducing the size and influence of government. He applies the theory of policy feedback—how public-policy choices determine subsequent politics—to demonstrate the effects of educational activism for other conservative goals such as gun rights, which are similarly framed as matters of liberty and freedom. Drawing on decades of county data, dozens of original interviews, and original archives of formal and informal homeschool organizations, this book is a groundbreaking investigation of the politics of the conservative homeschooling movement.
