Break away from the failiings of schools and embrace the power of homeschooling through the guidance of the Colfax family's teachings. For over fifteen years, David and Micki Colfax educated their children at home. They don't think of themselves as pioneers, though that's what they became. Unhappy with the public schools, the Colfaxes wanted the best education possible for their four sons: a program for learning that met the evolving needs of each child and gave them complete control of how and what their children learned. The results? A prescription for excellence-Harvard educations for their sons Grant, Drew, and Reed. (Their fourth son is still too young for college.) Now the Colfaxes tell how all parents can become involved in homeschooling. In a straight-talking book that reads like a frank conversation among friends, they tell what they did and how they did it: their educational approaches, the lessons they learned, and what materials-books, equipment, educational aids-proved most useful over the years. Best of all, they show you how you can take charge of your children's education-in an invaluable sourcebook that will help you find a rewarding and successful alternative to our failing schools.

The Beginner’s Guide to “Homeschooling” Welcome Newbie - who wants to transition to homeschooling your child or yourself as a student... Huh, homeschooling? Not interested? It’s not surprising that people underestimate homeschooling or find it unorthodox, particularly for younger students to be away from their peers. Now before you shrug off the idea of having your child homeschooled or - if you happen to be a student yourself - of imagining ever opting out of your current school in favor of self-educating at home...hear us out. Homeschooling can prove far superior for getting an education than attending regular classes at traditional schools. How so? For starters, with all the talk about needing smaller class size for better teacher-to-student ratio, you can’t get smaller than schooling one-on-one at home. When a teacher has multiple students to teach, they are not going to hold up an entire class just because one student is unable to keep up. All that undivided one-on-one attention is accompanied by the many possible ways in which learning and the environment can be personalized in whatever shape or form that is best suited to the individual student, without being too confined to any rigid school bureaucracy. And, of course, the undeniable convenience of schooling not only from home and being closer to family, but from anywhere. Calling it “homeschooling” doesn’t even begin to do justice in conveying the freedom of schooling from any location for truly making learning omnipresent. Are you piqued yet? In fact, in the old days, homeschooling was once considered the most prestige form of education reserved for the elitists. No longer is that the case, because home education has gained traction in recent years owing to the advancement of technology and tools in making homeschooling far accessible. You can school from home without concerns of compromising the education and not being up to par with other students at regular schools. “Homeschooling for Beginners” will guide you through: - Getting the requirements to meet each state’s educational board’s standards. - The breakdown of each academic phase which every student must go through. - The different school materials needed to ensure your homeschool runs smoothly. - The approach to creating your own curriculum based on those from local schools. - The ways of measuring academic performance to other students on a national level. ...on top of everything else that beginners need to know. Having said all that, our primary focus here is not centered around the nitty-gritty day-to-day operations of homeschooling. Instead, it is on guiding you through the transitional process and providing you with the necessary resources, to make the homeschool transition easy-breezy. At the end of the day, homeschooling can be for everybody and will become a more integral part of education with remote learning on the rise. Adopt now, and give homeschooling a try to see what it has to offer. Begin the transition to start homeschooling today.

"If you've picked up this book, you may be struggling with the same questions I once had, as someone who decided to pursue unschooling with her two children many years ago. Now that you've decided that your child(ren) will be leaving the traditional school setting, you may be asking yourself some pretty deep questions. What, if any, curriculum should you apply? You may be asking yourself, "Am I qualified to be their primary educator? What if I don't do a good job of preparing them for life because I overlooked what they needed in their formative education years? What is the healthiest approach to education? How does self-education work and how do I know if it is the right approach for my child?"Let us first look at some points around the natural development of a child. For the moment, I would like you to go back to the time when your child or children were very young, and were just starting to reach certain milestones, like crawling or babbling. Do you recall when they first pulled themselves up to a standing position? What about when they sat for the very first time? Do you remember when they took those first steps by themselves, and the look on their face when they did? You probably witnessed, as I did, their pure wonder and self-accomplishment radiating from the inside out. It was all over their face. Pride in oneself is an amazing thing. It's ownership of a job well-done. "Mom, Dad, look at me! I did it!" Hopefully, we didn't miss it as we ran from room to room removing all the low hanging lamps, vases, and costly collectibles." Allyson McQuinn, The author If you're looking for further justification for taking the plunge into self-education, world schooling or unschooling, look no further. You hold in your hands a book that will satisfy your need for a history of education, a rich philosophy, a take on health as it pertains to self-education and how you're in fact laying the bricks for autonomy and even human freedom for your child. "By picking up this book, you are helping to think beyond a model of indoctrination that operates against the individual, one which actively works against our mental health, sense of self and social justice, which in turn, manages to completely extinguish the learner's natural love of learning. By adapting the concepts of self education you are working against the narrow, ageist, classist, ableist, sexist and racist version of 'education' that the current system and world at large supports. By picking up this book, you are starting to transform your own ideas surrounding the social construct we call "education" and start to focus on the value of "learning" instead." Lainie Liberti"Ally, I am going through it all several times and each time I hear myself saying "Yes!" to SO much here; it's blowing my mind and satisfying something so fundamental within me that it's like reaching the summit of a sheer rock face cliff climb when you get to put two feet on the ground and REALLY feel them there! Planted. Solid ground under my feet; and damn it feels good!" Lesley Breen, DMH, DynPh, Live & Layered Blood Cell Microscopy, MEd."I'm enjoying this book immensely. Thank you for sending it my way. And for reminding me that keeping my kids home with me and out of the school system and IN the world is an act of love, a tending and a caring for, not a test or challenge or egoic kind of practice. I love how you're connecting disease with not only compulsory learning, but the waning and stifling of those organic questions, the questions that become our dreams, really, our ambitions. I've read a lot of deschooling/unschooling texts and have never (I don't think) seen that blatant connection. I believe it." Amy Robertson, Unschooling Mom
