Very persuasive book

This is a fantastic "how-to" and "why-to" book on classical homeschooling. This book is very well-written and specific in its instructions and recommendations. The authors have "been there/done that" and share not only experience but expertise! One simple warning: if you read this book you will come away thinking not only SHOULD you homeschool your kids, but that you CAN homeschool your kids and that you should do it THEIR way! :) :) It persuaded me to homeschool and I have 4 kids ranging from 10 to 2 years old! Enjoy!

Explains exactly how to homeschool

This book is my favorite homeschooling resource book. It explained to me why my kids would benefit from a classical education and how to do it step by step and year by year. We are following the athors' plans for history and science. I refer back to this book regularly and highly recommend it, especially for those lost in a sea of "where do I begin?" and curriculum questions.

A Good Starting Point

Next year I will start homeschooling my four year old daughter. While doing some research I came across the Classical Method and loved it. It seems challenging yet fun. It's a different method than by what I was taught so I am sure that I will be learning along with her. While doing some more research I found this book that really spelled things out for me. I don't agree with all her ideas, her choices for curriculum, etc. However, I found this book to give me a starting point in choosing my own material. This book is not exactly Christian though she does recommend many Christian books. She is not specific on giving advice about how to teach your child Bible. That is wisely left up to the individual family. If you want to learn what the classical method is and how it can be taught I would highly recommend this book, though not all of her specific curriculum choices.

I think I have an understanding

The book provided me with a lot of insight. I is a good read, but is still raised a question or two but nothing not crazy. To me it sounded like a book about friends. I could be wrong maybe a friend will call me and discuss the book with me to help clear up some stuff.

I had to have my own copy

This is a valuable resource for homeschoolers. When I first decided to homeschool, a friend let me read her copy. I knew that it was one of the few books that I wanted for my own! It is a book that I will refer to often in the future. If you are even considering homeschooling this is one of the books you should read.
