Among the useful information Dr. Riley provides are different approaches to teaching, learning, and all aspects of homeschooling. She shares how to plan in the long-term and short-term, how to assess whether what you are doing is working, and so much more. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in, considering, or currently homeschooling." <strong>--Carlo Ricci, PhD, founding editor of <em>The Journal of Unschooling and Alternative Learning</em></strong></p> <p>"Dr. Gina Riley does not tell you how to homeschool. She does something much better. She provides a comprehensive and very clear menu of possibilities so you can choose what will work best for you and your child or children." <strong>--Peter Gray, research professor at Boston College and author of <em>Free to Learn: Why Releasing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life</em></strong></p> <p>"After leaving the school system that marks out every path and box to check for students and parents, taking the responsibility of education into our own hands can be daunting. Gina Riley's book is a wonderful companion for any parent beginning the journey. Gina is not only a clinical professor and program leader of adolescent special education, she also homeschooled her son to adulthood. Gina's book is a straightforward guide that addresses the major homeschool questions. It is factual, to the point, and written with kindness and personal experience. I would recommend it to any parent looking to homeschool." <strong>--Robyn Robertson, creator and host of Honey!
