One Good Year - A Mother and Daughter's Educational Adventure

"In a world where ''homeschooling'' is so often misunderstood, discounted, and even ridiculed, Laura Brodie offers a clear-eyed view and makes a valuable contribution to the literature on the subject. This is necessary reading for anyone with an interest not just in homeschooling but in education generally." -- David Guterson "As a parent involved in homeschooling, I highly recommend this book. It''s timely, beautifully written, and must reading for anyone who has ever wondered what homeschooling is all about." -- James Grippando, author of Money to Burn Humorous and heartfelt, this charming memoir tells of a year-long experiment in homeschooling in which the author decides to give her ten-year-old daughter a sabbatical from homework hell and the vicissitudes of one-size fits all traditional public school days.
