Real Life Homeschoolingby Rhonda Barfield.
This was my first nonfiction book of 2010.
Whatever your feelings about homeschooling are, this book is a good read simply for its' own sake. The book highlights the lives of 21 families who homeschool. The families are all different with different reasons for teaching at home. Some families homeschool for religious reasons, while some families are completely secular. Some families are large, while others only have one or two children.
I think that this book helps change people's views of homeschoolers from weird, unsocialized freaks, to regular people. The author tries very hard to let the families and their experiences speak for themselves.
If you are a family considering homeschooling, this book helps to show what options are available to homeschoolers as well as some glimpses into the struggles and joys of teaching your children yourself.
I higly recommend giving this book a try.
