No shortage of books will help you figure out how to do it, but this book is about why you should. Written from the perspective of a homeschooling father of seven who was himself homeschooled growing up, this is an encouragement to fathers and mothers to think rightly about their children's education.
What our children believe about God, themselves, one another, and the universe - these are all features of their education and consequent worldview.
The worldview being conveyed to our children by the American public school system is badly broken, and we both can and should judge this tree by its fruits.
Stagnant academic performance, bullying, school shootings, teen suicide, substance abuse, teacher-student sex scandals - all these and more have become features of the public schools in this country.
We should ask and answer some important questions, then. For starters, what sort of worldview are our children constructing that these and other dysfunctions are now so commonplace?
Who is helping our children come to the conclusions they ought to about God and man, and the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?
If the answers to those questions are unsatisfying, there is a better way.
And this is why we homeschool.
