Using a well-balanced mixture of careful research and personal experience, Guterson makes a case for the academic, social, and political benefits of homeschooling; offers a number of useful perspectives from which to view it; and suggests ideas for cooperation between school districts and homeschooling families. 254 pages, softcover from Harcourt Brace.
