Homeschooling is revolutionizing the way many children in this country are educated.

Learn how homeschooling may be your family's best method for providing your child with the finest education. Your child deserves it!


"I can't imagine a more helpful book on homeschooling — a happy marriage of the realistic with the idealistic, the passionate with the practical. Until our schools are not just reformed but truly transformed, every parent should consider this alternative."

— George Leonard, author of Education and Ecstasy and Mastery


"If you plan to homeschool, make sure you read this book. Your child's education depends on it."

— Senator Vince Illuzzi


"The Homeschooling Book of Answers is filled with common sense for homeschoolers or any other parents who care deeply about their children's education. This book is a must-read for people who care about how and what their children learn — at home or in one of the expensive institutional juggernauts that have a difficult time keeping up with them."

— Craig Lancto, educator and newspaper columnist


"Delightfully easy to read, this most timely, valuable, informative, and critically needed work covers the home school issue with an encyclopedic thoroughness. I can only applaud and pass the word."

— Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of The Crack in the Cosmic Egg and Magical Child

While this is a great resource for new homeschoolers, it did seem slanted towards a relaxed or unschooling approach. You would be wise to balance that with a good look at some of the other methods before deciding which is the best approach for your family.

A wonderful book with the basics of homeschooling in a non-preachy manner. Writing style is down to earth and easy to read. This book is not religious. I recommend all of Linda Dobson's books; Dobson is an experienced and happy homeschooling parent.

This book is in question-and-answer format, which is great for beginners who don't even know where to start asking questions. I recommend it.

I liked this book. it is very informative. It can be a bit too much for those that may just be trying to get info as to if this is a good choice for them
I reccommend this one for those that have already made the decisiona and just need an occasional reminder that they can and are able to make this work.
