A must read for any Christian who is considering homeschooling. This book explains both the necessity and the history of this time tested method of teaching. They share first how many great men in our nation and history were actually taught at home and how mandated public schooling is not what God or our founding fathers intended for our children. Then they lay forth the proof that this method is the best method available. Showing statistics like how teacher training has little effect on the quality of a child's education and how children who are homeschooled tend to do better overall, not just in school, but in life. They make a great case and prove that Homeschooling is the right choice.

Excellent. I wish someone would update the statistics and state law descriptions, but other than that I was quite impressed.
