The most comprehensive volume of its kind, The Unofficial Guide to Homeschooling provides balanced information and invaluable guidance on one of today's fastest growing education alternatives. As many as 1.5 million children are now being homeschooled in a burgeoning movement that is seeing more and more parents taking a primary role in providing their children with quality education. If you seek guidance on homeschooling, or are considering this education option for your child, you'll need clear, thorough and practical information. This book will tell you: how to determine if homeschooling is right for your family; what's involved in complying with state regulations; how to choose a curriculum or create your own; how to motivate your child; and much more. Homeschoolers of every stage will find pertinent information, from insight on preschool issues to the college admissions process and beyond.
This is a great book. It is divided into well thought out paragraphs. It is not so much a how to book, in my opinion, but rather a cheerleader book. It provides the positives of homeschooling. It discusses in a very factual manner the statistics and the studies and provides some information about the lack of information the studies do show. It is interesting. It has stories from other homeschoolers, suggested websites for more information, and a lot of information. It is well worth reading if you are thinking of homeschooling.
Informative & comprehensive

I found this title to be extremely informative on the subject of homeschooling "how-to's". A comprehensive guide to the laws (state by state), formats, guidelines, etc... What I enjoyed most were comments from other homeschooling families. For an "Unofficial" book it has a lot of very helpful information!
