“This beautiful little book looks into the daily routines of
six conservative Christian families who homeschool their children.
Employing the analytical eye of a former teacher and the balanced,
thoughtful wisdom of a seasoned academic, Kunzman not only paints
portraits fairly, but gently questions what he sees much of which
is deeply troubling …. [It] may well become a classic in its
field.”—Choice
"Not only a contribution to education policy debates, it''s a
model of thoughtful dialog
內容簡介:
Homeschooling is a large and growing phenomenon in U.S.
society—the National Center for Education Statistics recently
reported that in the last decade it grew at twelve times the rate
of public school enrollments. Yet information about this population
is terribly incomplete. In this groundbreaking book, Robert Kunzman
uses his unprecedented access to six conservative Christian
homeschooling families to explore the subset of this elusive world
that most influences public perception and rhetoric about the
homeschooling movement, from its day-to-day life to its broader
aspirations to transform American culture and politics.
