Title: Great, if you are unschooling
Review: While the book does have lots of information and answers many questions, it is told pretty much entirely from a secular point of view. It is heavily supportive of the "unschooling" method of homeschooling, and beyond giving brief definitions of each, it barely mentions other methods. It is highly critical of using pre-packaged, or even structured, curricula. While not outright saying it, "school-at-home" homeschooling is painted as inferior, burdensome, overly restrictive, unnatural, and barely preferable over public school. I did, however, find the chapter concerning socialization to include helpful information and arguments to ease a parent's anxiety about how a homeschooled child can and does learn socialization.
