Unmatchable Results

This book shows the unmatchable results of homeschooling. Homeschooling by far produces the best results at the lowest costs. Most people are unaware of the financial consequences resulting from the moral crisis in the public education. As public education students move into business, their lack of value for honesty and understanding of 'right from wrong' is putting entire economy at risk. Here is a great ebook that I found about how to Save Money Homeschooling. http://www.SaveMoneyHomeschooling.com

Great support for home education!

A great book to encourage parents and family to home educate their own children-thus raising them with their own Christian values, work ethic, choice of curriculum, and love.

LOTS of information about home schooling and its history

I read this book after hearing it recommended by Chuck Missler in one of his briefings. This book is filled with a lot of information on the historical background of home schooling here in America. It lists many examples of home schooled children that went on to become some of the most important people in American history (basically most of the founders of the USA). Klicka also has a lot of statistics that show the success of today's average home schooled students when compared to average public education students. The book has been around for years, and this is a new, updated, version of that old book. Since this book was first written the number of home schoolers has skyrocketed. After reading this book, one can fully understand why most public school teachers choose to send their own children to private schools (if they don't choose to home school). Klick know from where he speaks. He is the head of the Home School Legal Defense Association that assists home schoolers around the country. He and his wife have home schooled all of their children and he is dedicated to the cause as part of his religious convictions. Today, there a many people, including many non-religious ones, who are choosing to home school, and Klicka is one of the people who have made that option possible today by making sure their rights to do it are kept intact. If you have even the slightest interest in possibly home schooling your children, then this is the book to start with.

Fabulous book, Extremely helpful

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!

excellent technical resource for homeschoolers

This book is an excellent resource for parents contemplating homeschooling. Many legal cases are referenced. Those of us sans law degree may find this tedious. Mr. Klicka does present an empassioned case in favor of home education though. You will refer to this volume over and over again.
