“The Book on Homeschooling: Making the Best Choice for You and Your Child, by Marlene Kyees and Philip Kyees, is a great tool for those who are merely thinking about teaching their own children, as well as for veteran homeschoolers.
This book provides information, help, and encouragement to anyone embracing the homeschool adventure. One of the things that struck me was the practical aspect of the book. If you want information on curriculum, it is here. If you want to learn how to use the Web for homeschool, it is here. If you want links to good organizations, they’re here. If you want some good ideas to help you solve problems you’re encountering, they’re here as well. It truly is a reference tool parents can refer to again and again.
The personal stories add an interesting component that is both entertaining and encouraging. This book spans the gap between being an excellent resource and a good read. I found myself compelled to turn the page, and I was being educated while enjoying myself. I have been a pastor for many years, and one thing I personally appreciate is the step-by-step approach that will leave the reader with a true path that is achievable. I recommend this book to any parent considering or struggling with homeschooling on any level.”
Randy Helms“Today, homeschooling has “proven” itself to be a viable and legal format for education. As a homeschool mom for 19 years, currently serving as faculty at a local college that dual-enrolls homeschooled students, I can unequivocally say that The Book on Homeschooling offers a broad foundation for this academic choice. Making the decision to home school is an action that should reflect planning and thought. However, a complete understanding of this academic endeavor is not necessary for academic success.
For my family, commitment and just pure “grit” were sometimes all we had in the early homeschooling era, as answers to parental, family, and friends’ questions were not always available.
Nevertheless, today we have a valuable resource, The Book on Homeschooling, which gives support to the reader choosing to enter the homeschool experience. This easy-to-read book reminds me of a workshop, where pertinent information and explanations, as well as helpful examples, are given. This format, along with many useful resources, supports the foundation for a great start to choosing homeschooling.”
Neoka Marple Apple“Children are faced with an incalculable amount of challenges as they mature to become our future leaders and the society of the future. As parents, it is our responsibility to equip each of our children with the best possible skills and education possible to be a responsible adult. Choosing an educational path with our children is one of the most important things we can do for them.
In today’s world, there are many choices, including public, private, online, or homeschool. Since each family and each child is different, as parents we need to be informed of all the options, and have our children actively involved in the process. The Book on Homeschooling is one that will provide parents with a profusion of information covering the total process of homeschooling. It not only conveys the basics for making decisions about the educational process, but it also furnishes invaluable resources to assist in making the homeschooling process a successful adventure. The reader will glean a clear understanding of homeschooling, beginning at early elementary through the graduation and post high school choices.
Before deciding for or against homeschooling, I would recommend that this book be read. Informed decisions are always the best, and The Book on Homeschooling will definitely provide this for you.”
