This intimate, eminently practical memoir of a successful homeschooled family of six children illuminates today’s most exciting choice in education, and shows how it works from cradle to college. What is it that homeschoolers do that the public schools can’t or won’t? There are at least as many answers as there are studies. But nothing can capture the homeschooling experience in all its richness like the story of a real family that homeschools its children in middleclass America. Homeschooling: A Family’s Journey is the perfect book for those millions of Americans who may know someone who homeschools, who may have read about it, thought about it, and wondered whether homeschooling is right for them. Sharing the concerns of committed parents everywhere, authors Gregory and Martine Millman are consistently practical, informed, caring, and no-nonsense in their approach. They pay special attention to homeschooling and college, the economics of home-learning, and how a parent can really handle a child’s full education. Homeschooling opens a window on an exciting, important way of education—and, even more, a way of life—that can make all the difference in your family’s world.

The homeschooling journey doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, it shouldn't be. In a world that wants to tell you "how-to" homeschool better, come and discover that simplifying, letting God lead, and focusing on your family is far greater than any new "method" or system. Karen DeBeus is sharing from her fifteen years of experience as a homeschooling mom. She will help you stay focused on the true goals for your family. Homeschooling is about so much more than just academics. You are building a family, and not just a transcript. It isn't about a piece of paper that defines your children, but the foundation upon which they stand, that defines them. Join Karen as she takes you on the journey from just starting out in kindergarten, all the way until dropping her first born at college. It was a spiritual journey, a faith-building journey, and a family-building journey. And in the end, keeping it simple and focusing on God and family, were the most beautiful parts of all. Wherever you are in your homeschooling journey, you will be encouraged to build your family on the Lord's foundation.

If your family is new to the homeschooling lifestyle, or you are on the fence, trying to decide if the lifestyle is for you and your family. then this book will help. I have written about the learning pathway my family is taking on the new, exciting, and fulling journey of homeschooling. I am a grandmother, who is homeschooling her 4 grandchildren. I had the idea that maybe I could help others save time researching, and make their transition to homeschooling, a little easier. I have included questions and answers for parents, legal requirements, resources for online schools and curriculum, budgeting, time management, pros and cons of homeschooling, and of course, loads of free stuff available for homeschoolers. I touched briefly on various aspects of homeschooling that you should be aware of. This book does not, by any means, cover the entire scope of a homeschool lifestyle. However, I hope I have given my readers enough information to start their family on a new, exciting, and fulfilling educational learning pathway. I truly believe homeschooling builds a stronger family relationship, gives children real-life skills not found in public school, gives special needs children more learning flexibility, and most importantly, at least to our family, keeps the children safe and secure in their own home. No bullying. No guns. I hope I have accomplished my goal of giving you enough information to keep or start, your family on a new and exciting learning pathway.
