Rethinking school
Ratings2
Average rating3.8
I found this book to be an excellent critique of our nation's philosophy of education as well as a great starting point for thinking outside of the box (with advice both for the parent who wants to work within our current K-12 public education system and for the parent who wants to step outside that system and homeschool).
For me, parts 4 and 5 were the most relevant–part 4 guiding you through rethinking the system and creating a vision for your children's education; and part 5 giving some bare-bones basics of how to get started in homeschooling and what that looks like from the 20,000 foot level.
