Title: Home schooling
Description: In America today, as many as half a million of our school-age children are being taught in the home, and that figure is expected to more than double in the next ten years. Why are so many American parents opting out of public education and choosing to teach their children at home? And who are the home schoolers? At last, here is a book that gives an unbiased, thorough presentation of this growing phenomenon and its effect on the people involved. The four authors have combined their varied experience and years of research on home schooling to create an excellent resource for anyone - from home school parents to educational administrators to social science researchers.

Home Schooling includes case studies that explore the various characteristics and motivations of parent educators. Additional interviews give insight into the attitudes and beliefs of superintendents. The book examines the areas of agreement and disagreement between home school parents and professional educators, and it encourages cooperative relations among the different factions.
