The Beginner's Guide to Homeschooling


The Beginners Guide to Homeschooling by Patrick Farenga
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Okay, I’ll admit it; I was a little frustrated with this book. Instead of being a person’s experiences and thoughts on homeschooling, it feels more like a book catalog in a library. The author will give a sentence or two, then tell you for more information to see his appendices or reference another book. In a 124 page book, the appendices start on page 62!

The best part of the book is that while the author is a fan of unschooling, he does give resources about many types of homeschooling. And if you’re looking for a book to give you references for other books to read on homeschooling – this is the place to go. Though a lot of his references he readily admits are out of print.
