Book Review: The Homeschooling Book of Answers: The 88 Most Important Questions Answered by Homeschooling's Most Respected Voices by Linda Dobson

Linda Dobson Has Written The Definitive Book On Homeschooling
(Book Review)

This review is for the revised edition of The Homeschooling Book of Answers: The 88 Most Important Questions Answered by Homeschooling's Most Respected Voices by Linda Dobson. Linda has updated one of her most popular and best seller books that I, as a home education advocate, highly recommend especially to new homeschoolers. My first review of this book still stands: Linda Dobson Has Written The Definitive Book On Homeschooling!

Parents, journalists, legislators, in-laws and homeschoolers across America need look no further for the definitive book on homeschooling. It has finally been written and the author is Linda Dobson, a wise and leading voice in the American homeschooling movement. Within the covers of The Homeschooling Book of Answers (both original and revised editions) Ms. Dobson has brought you the experience and wisdom of 39 of the movers and shakers in this viable alternative opportunity to public schooling. These homeschooling parents and their children share their collective knowledge and lives in this informative book.

This book has lots of personality. This book is an accumulation of 500 years of homeschooling and child rearing experience. This book is a 'keeper', one to be referenced again and again. As a home education advocate The Homeschooling Book of Answers is now the only book I recommend to anyone wanting information on homeschooling. This book is so chocked full of information and resources that readers will be able to use it as a jumping off point in their quest for a top-notch education for their children.

The information in this book also has a redeeming value that will help to heal the wounded American family and give parents back their children that government run public schools are destroying. The Homeschooling Book of Answers will also show parents how the act of homeschooling/schooling at home can lead to a more promising way of educating children--free and independent learning, known to some as 'unschooling', a much healthier and happier way to raise children.

This is an excellent book to give to the in-laws to help them better understand what you are doing with your child's education. If you find a copy of this book or the original one at a book sale BUY IT! It will be the best investment you will ever make!
