The Unschooling Handbook : How to Use the Whole World As Your Child's Classroom

A wonderful book with many insights on how to enjoy time at home educating our children! Not my only manual, but on my reference shelf...a keeper.

Remember the first time you look at your newborn and think 'you're not so tough I can do this.' That's what this book did for me. It tuned me in, turned me on and we dropped out! ha!

Some chapters were ones I didn't need, others stated the obvious - read. go to a library - and the one that cautioned parents to take a good hard look at why they want to US/HS took me aback for a moment. Broke my high. But in the end, the book is a big confidence builder for anyone thinking of taking the leap from institutionalized schooling to homeschooling.   hide
