Put my wife's and my mind at ease with homeschooling

This book is truly straightforward. Tell's it like it is and very easy to read. My wife and I were at a loss of whether or not we could handle teaching our two teenage sons. They were so lost in the shuffle of public schooling, that we knew we had to do something. Our biggest fear was that all homeschoolers were teaching with a religious-based curriculum, that our sons wouldn't have the same opportunities available to them in the public sector and we didn't want that. We needed to help our sons with their academics so they could get into college. This book pulls no punches by showing us how its done. We've bought two copies, one for us, and one for a friend our ours, who also is considering homeschooling for their teenage daughter. We thank the authors for their truthful insights into the pros and cons of homeschooling. They helped us make an important decision to give homeschooling a dedicated effort.

Truly a "Complete Guide"

I've borrowed many homeschooling books from the library and this is the only one I've decided to purchase. The Complete Guide to Homeschooling will tell you all about the Who, What, When and Where regarding this controversial issue; the "Why" is up to you. The book's question/answer format is very easy to read even with a toddler in the house! Also, several pages are devoted to the opinions of previously homeschooled children/teens, now adults. This book also offers many support group/organizations and resources to contact. I really think I can do this! A must have!
