Growing up Learning Dr. Barbe tells you how to watch your children to assess their individual learning strengths, when offers you teaching suggestions and activities to match your children's respective learning strengths, for the classroom and at home. Teaching to children's respective strengths rather than repeating their weaknesses helps them to gain self-confidence and achieve to their full potential. Homeschool Open House: Interviews with 55 Homeschooling Families This is a superb book for three groups of people: Anyone who's THINKING about homeschooling, anyone who is ALREADY homeschooling and anyone who wants to KNOW more about it. It gives a detailed look at 55 very different families who homeschool. The families have VERY different approaches. The author doesn't try to espouse one particular technique, rather, she lets the viewer see the realities of how homeschooling looks with the individual overlays of each unique home life. Family Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense Guterson mounts a strong challenge to "the doctrine of school's necessity." He profiles the home-school movement, which encompasses more than 300,000 families in America, and probes the wide variety of motives behind its growth. The most common, he finds, is parents' dissatisfaction with the mass, prescribed and other-directed nature of public education. Guterson argues that properly practiced home-schooling produces academic success, lessens peer pressure and allows children to become independent.
