"Contains three of the most helpful sentences I''ve ever read on
the question of homeschooling: ''Just start.'' ''You will make
mistakes.'' ''No big deal.'' What excellent advice! One of the most
thoroughly helpful books I''ve read in years. If you''re
homeschooling a teenager you''ll want—and need—this outstanding
book!" — Helen Hegener, managing editor of Home Education

"Am I crazy? Homeschool my teen? But how do I do it, when should
I do it, where do I find information, and is this really a good
choice? If this sounds like you, stop shopping and start reading.
This book provides insights and solutions to questions from A to Z.
Highly recommended!" — Cindy Stanley, sponsor of the Homeschooling
for Everyone Conferences
"Lots of practical tips, examples, and help. I loved the
smorgasbord of ideas from other homeschooling parents of teens,
showing the wide range of ways to learn and excel." — Judith Waite
