SynopsisThis unique book is an engaging comprehensive report, on Dr. Ray's largest-ever nationwide and longitudinal study, that includes statistics, analyses, and an evaluation of home education's benefits to children, families, and society. This book presents a summary of many researchers studies on home schooling, explains the methods used in this nationwide study, presents many pages and graphs of data and statistics, summarizes the findings, and concludes with a chapter on the strengths of home schooling. This chapter addresses strengths such as the idea that parents can and do choose to build strong families, parents take primary responsibility and participate in their villages, the home education environment is linked to high academic achievement, and home education may reduce the negative effects of certain background variables on students achievement."
