"A courageously and brilliantly written, tell-it-like-it-is summation of the challenges endemic in education in Mzansi—and elsewhere, frankly—and the knock-on effect that permeates society and employment. With its entrenched culture of entitlement, patronage, cadre deployment, and good old-fashioned construction mafia shakedowns, the narrative is both gripping and enlightening. More refreshing still is the hope offered by the author in the way of solutions and a can-do spirit; not just another list of only problems. This author and writing is one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets, as far as I am concerned. Among other things, it is inspiring me to seriously contemplate homeschooling my children—though it covers so much more ground than that alone. Do yourself a favour and read this work. Share it widely and often. Kudos, Salatiso. Thanks for the inspiration." James (Jimmy) Duly, MSc Adult Ed, World’s Most Reality-based Operations Management at University of KwaZulu-Natal

So you've decided to homeschool. There's too much information out there and all of it is about what to do with your KIDS. There's precious little about what life is like for the Homeschooling Parent - and you want to know about things like... how will you socialize without school to help you get to know your kids' friends and their parents? what is it really like being home all day with your kids? why do other parents choose to homeschool? how are you ever going to handle high school (or middle school)? what are you going to do if you don't want to do this anymore? If it's way too hard? And the BIG Question: Are you going to fail your kids? This book is for YOU, the homeschooling parent (and for your support system of adults, though it's written for you). In these pages I will show you how to cope with teaching, chores, fears, and many of the everyday things that make us all stress out like crazy. Let me share with you the lessons learned from my six active kids (ages 20 down through 9 as of September 2022) and fifteen years of "formal" homeschooling, my experience running numerous homeschooling groups (for both parents and kids)... and from being a homeschooled kid (2nd-12th grades) myself. Your kid - and you - may have different ambitions, but let me tell you about how I - and my two homeschool graduates - have been accepted and successfully attended selective colleges in the USA. And the sports... yes, we've done sports as well as academics. And let me help you start (or continue) on your homeschooling journey as a friend who has gone this way first and hopes to smooth the road for you.

We all worry about our kids learning math. Even if the kids are in school, there’s always a concern. Sometimes it’s about the kid’s concern… sometimes it’s about their teacher’s concern (parent-teacher or otherwise). But a lot of the time it’s about US. It’s about our own math-phobias – those ‘fears, dislikes, or aversions’ that we picked up from our own math experiences and that we inadvertently pass on to our kids. We don’t want them to be afraid of math – we know that limits their opportunities and makes their lives harder and costs them more money – but we just can’t help it. This book is here to help you deal with your own math-phobias and come to – if not outright enjoy math, to at least appreciate it and be able to convey it to your kids without passing on the fear. Kerridwen Mangala McNamara is NOT a ‘math-lover’ but she is a math-appreciator and has worked through most of these issues herself. Let her help you along your homeschooling journey and show you how to fight the Fear-of-Math monster so that it no longer intimidates you – or your kids!

This revealing and balanced portrait of homeschooling today provides a full history of the movement, demographic insights, and extensive research on how homeschooled children fare in the United States. Delving into a movement that impacts more students nationwide than the entire charter school movement, this book explores: • The history of homeschooling in America • How this movement has grown in credibility and enrollment exponentially • The current state of homeschooling, including questions about who gets homeschooled, why, and what is the success—academically and in life—of students who are homeschooled • The impact of homeschooling on the student and on American society In 2010, more than two million students were homeschooled. In the most extensive survey and analysis of research on homeschooling, spanning the birth of the movement in the 1970s to today, Homeschooling in America shines a light on one of the most important yet least understood social movements of the last forty years and explores what it means for education today.

The surprising reasons parents are opting out of the public school system and homeschooling their kids Homeschooling has skyrocketed in popularity in the United States: in 2019, a record-breaking 2.5 million children were being homeschooled. In The Homeschool Choice, Kate Henley Averett provides insight into this fascinating phenomenon, exploring the perspectives of parents who have chosen to homeschool their children. Drawing on in-depth interviews, Averett examines the reasons why these parents choose to homeschool, from those who disagree with sex education and LGBT content in schools, to others who want to protect their children’s sexual and gender identities. With eye-opening detail, she shows us how homeschooling is a trend being chosen by an increasingly diverse subset of American families, at times in order to empower—or constrain—children’s gender and sexuality. Ultimately, Averett explores how homeschooling, as a growing practice, has changed the roles that families, schools, and the state play in children’s lives. As teachers, parents, and policymakers debate the future of public education, The Homeschool Choice sheds light on the ongoing struggle over school choice.
