By Heart - Kathleen Melin - Bog

"By Heart" shares one family's surprising passage from public school to home-based learning--a journey that takes readers from Bethel, Alaska, to a Wisconsin farm, all the while exploring an educational choice that continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. Parenting, place, education, and culture mingle in this literary narrative. The author addresses issues such as the home school decision, schedules and curricula, socialization, and the economics of co-parenting. Each chapter reads like a fictional account in the life of a home school family. Entertaining, inspiring, and empowering, this title is a delightful and provocative book for parents, educators, policy makers, and readers of memoir.
