Homeschooling has been in the educational mainstream for a few decades now. Over two million school-age children (K-12) are currently being homeschooled, and the number keeps going up. This is not a new phenomenon, and you can successfully teach your children at home. However, even with the rising number of homeschooled children in the United States, there are several myths that continue to make people question this viable, educational method. In Homeschooling Myths: A Personal Perspective, Amy Earls tells about her own experiences when encountering the various myths that "concerned" people felt the need to confront her with. While it is possible to find all sorts of helpful websites that talk about homeschooling myths, few share personal experiences related to those myths. Here, Amy talks about how she has handled each myth presented to her and why the myth is, in her opinion, just that-a myth. Within the book, you will also find several quotes that pertain to homeschooling myths, educational quotes, and a brief description of the various methods of homeschooling. You might also encounter a few reasons for homeschooling that might resonate with you, personally. It is Amy's sincere hope that this book will help you in your own homeschooling journey or even help you determine if homeschooling is right for your family. If you have family members or friends that are questioning your decision to homeschool, pass this book along to them. Maybe it will help. If you are not in agreement with your loved one's decision to homeschool, perhaps this book will open your mind to the possibilities and opportunities that this educational method offers.

This book is guaranteed to spark lively debates and critical thinking in any classroom! Two of the most respected voices in education identify 50 myths and lies that threaten America's public schools. Berliner and Glass argue that many citizens conception of K12 public education in the United States is more myth than reality. Warped opinions about our nations public schools include: they are inferior to private schools; they are among the worst in the world in math and science; teachers should be fired if their students dont score at the national average, and on and on. With more than a little humor, Berliner and Glass separate fact from fiction in this comprehensive look at modern education reform. They explain how the mythical failure of public education has been created and perpetuated in large part by political and economic interests who stand to gain from its destruction. They expose a rapidly expanding variety of organizations and media that intentionally misrepresent facts. Where appropriate, they name the promoters of the hoax and point out how their interests are served by encouraging false beliefs. Their method of debunking these falsehoods is to argue against their logic, criticize the data supporting them, and present more credible contradictory data. This dynamic book features short essays on important topics to provide every teacher, administrator, school board member, and concerned parent with reliable knowledge from authoritative sources.

In this controversial new book, Daisy Christodoulou offers a thought-provoking critique of educational orthodoxy. Drawing on her recent experience of teaching in challenging schools, she shows through a wide range of examples and case studies just how much classroom practice contradicts basic scientific principles. She examines seven widely-held beliefs which are holding back pupils and teachers: Facts prevent understanding Teacher-led instruction is passive The 21st century fundamentally changes everything You can always just look it up We should teach transferable skills Projects and activities are the best way to learn Teaching knowledge is indoctrination In each accessible and engaging chapter, Christodoulou sets out the theory of each myth, considers its practical implications and shows the worrying prevalence of such practice. Then, she explains exactly why it is a myth, with reference to the principles of modern cognitive science. She builds a powerful case explaining how governments and educational organisations around the world have let down teachers and pupils by promoting and even mandating evidence-less theory and bad practice. This blisteringly incisive and urgent text is essential reading for all teachers, teacher training students, policy makers, head teachers, researchers and academics around the world.
