Summary: Fabulous book, Extremely helpful
Comment: I loved this book, and gave copies to the grandparents to read. It was pleasant, easy reading from a Christian point-of-view (which I loved). I was absolutely shocked to discover all that is going on in the public schools today. Thanks be to God that my two children will never see the inside of one.

This book will open your eyes - big time - to the public school system. It's absolutely a must-read for anyone even considering sending their children to public school.

It is also a great book for doubters (grandparents, spouses, friends...). I wish I could hand this book out to people everywhere I go. People need to see what is happening in our public schools before blindly sending their children there.

Another excellent book for grandparents who are having a tough time with the homeschool decision is: "You're Going To Do WHAT?!" by Laurajean Downs. I loved this book, and it's perfect. There is an updated version with a 2000 or 2001 copyright date, so I'd get that one.

:) Blessings to all!

Summary: There are better homeschool books
Comment: I just spent several minutes paging through this book to find out which States worked on the "Honor System" for homeschool parents. I knew I had read about it somewhere in THE RIGHT CHOICE but without an index I never found an answer my question. That experience was typical of the troubles I found with this book. Overall it was a hard book to follow because its thrust was American public schools vs homeschooling not any classroom education vs homeschooling. It included very little about the nuts and bolts of homeschooling and what advice it did include was strange. For instance, on Page 208 it says "If you have only one child, you should have a few more if at all possible."

Also, THE RIGHT CHOICE was so full of advertisements for the author's legal services that his point of view was compromised.

Summary: A turning point book for those still undecided
Comment: Since I have been homeschooling for four years, some of the last chapters in the book we not new information for me, but the facts in the first section of the book really opened my eyes to what is going on in the public school system. I consider this book to be an excellent one to read for those who are still undecided about whether to homeschool or not. It's written by a man who knows what he's talking about - an homeschooling father and a homeschooling lawyer. I highly recommend it.
