This time-tested reference contains everything needed to create a successful school at home and provides information on where to get the very best materials available.

Personal essays pepper the pages with humor, understanding, and firsthand know-how so parents are supplied with the support they need from the day they first consider home education until they send their child off to college.

"The nicest thing about this book is that it is not only thorough, but engaging, warm, friendly, encouraging, and reassuring." (Marsha Ransom, author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Homeschooling)

"A veritable smorgasbord of articles, resources, essays, letters, insights, honest reviews, notes and commentaries on home education . . . the kind of book you can simply pick up, flip open to any page, and begin reading . . . offers some very provocative food for thought . . . and goes well beyond the textbook-style home school how-to books." (Helen Hegener, editor of Home Education Magazine)
