If you have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall of a home-schooler’s kitchen, here’s your chance! In this book 21 different families allow us into their homes for a warts-and-all view of the home-schooling experience.
Whether you are just curious about home education or seriously contemplating trying it yourself, you will find this book both down-to-earth and informative. Real parents of real children in Britain today explain why and how they got started and give practical illustrations of how it works out for them on a daily basis, what curricula they use and so on. The (mostly female) writers are refreshingly honest and humble about their struggles and shortcomings yet also share their joys and successes.
