Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. A good introduction to homeschooling. ( ) This is an introspective look at parenting and education- not necessarily homeschooling. It is written by a HS teacher who also homeschools his four children. It is an inspiring and interesting read and recommended for anyone considering homeschooling or who is just interested in the history of American education. An interesting, and useful, discussion about many issues relating to homeschooling that you rarely find in books about this topic - the more philosophical explanations about why homeschooling is a good and valid choice. I particularly admired the fact that Guterson discussed how the choice to stay at home and educate children was often one made by the mother, and how this related to female emancipation. While a bit US-centric (as you would expect) this book would be a great addition to the library of any home educator or families considering it, especially if you are still figuring out the hows and whys of your explanations to others when it comes to you family choice. If you read Snow Falling on Cedars, you may recall how fun Guterson is to read. His prose is quirky, though not ever clumsy. In this non-fiction book, he informs, educates, inspires, and entertains. You need to know that he is awkwardly placed as a public school high-school English teacher who home-schools his own kids in the Pacific Northwest, so he has a rather unique view on the complexities of the home-school vs public school discussion.
