 A Homeschoolers "Survival Guide"!Aug 01, 2008
By psalm25v4
As I opened You've Decided to Homeschool, Now What? and began to thumb through its pages, I was overwhelmed and frustrated with the amount of time that I had spent and continue to spend on the Internet searching for information regarding homeschool plans, organization tools, laws, curriculum, etc. If only I would have had this book from the start! UGH!
Are you asking yourself, "Where do I begin"? How about feeling overcome by anxiety and feeling like maybe you're getting in over your head? I recommend You've Decided to Homeschool, Now What? as a new "survival guide" for you!

This is a very good book, but not what I was looking for. Too much Christian based information and references - I was able to take some info out of it - just not what I needed.

 A waste of my timeFeb 23, 2008
By Mrinalini Iyer
This book is a weird mix of uber-classicist homeschooling and fundamentalist Christianity, which ultimately renders it completely useless. There is nothing in the description to indicate that this is a book for religious homeschoolers. But even those who believe that God wants them to homeschool their children (p.13) and that the leaders of a good homeschool organization need to be called by God (p.95) may find the contents of this book just too weird to stomach.
For instance: If you believe you need a teacher's desk, a daily record of attendance, and periodic achievement tests in order to homeschool properly (p.35), or that your child will make no progress if allowed to lie on the sofa in PJs and read until 11 AM (p.28), this is the book for you. Otherwise don't waste your time. Stick with Linda Dobson's "The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child" instead.
