Book Reviews of Mary Pride's Complete Guide to Getting Started in Homeschooling
Book Review: Left with a bitter taste
Summary: 3 Stars
The overall tone of this book really turned me off. I found the whole 'public school is the root of all evil' tone really irritating, but I plugged through and if you can get past all the snide comments and countless exaggerations about public schools, there is a ton of great information, resources, and ideas - especially with regards to the different ways of homeschooling and rescources for unit studies, and information about different organizations. I also found the information about learning styles very difficult to read - this section dived way into 'educator-ese' language and I had a really hard time following it. I'm finding Linda Dobson's The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child: Your Complete Guide to Getting Off to the Right Start a little more credible as it lacks the condescending tone and focuses on the benefits of homeschooling rather than the evils of public schooling.
Bottom line, I'm glad that I borrowed this one from the library instead of spending the money on a new copy - it definitely needs to be read with an open mind and a grain of salt.
