About this ebook
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.
