Overview
A growing number of parents are turning to home schooling for lifestyle, health, academic, religious, and political reasons. In this collection of 14 articles, academics, activists, and practitioners describe theories, practicalities, and results of research. Discussion includes issues of compulsory state education, cultural politics, and regulation; experiences of African-American families and those with special-needs children who are turning to home-schooling; the notion of equal rights for home-schooling; and the home-schooling movement in Britain. One particularly telling essay discusses results of home- schooling on test scores and students' college admission rates. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, ORBook Details
