"Homeschool Rising is a guide for anyone interested in homeschooling their children, regardless of background. It busts through the myths surrounding homeschooling, reveals the gross inadequacies in our current school system, and demonstrates how home education can provide a solution for students and families everywhere. There are many assumptions made about homeschooling -- that your child will be socially awkward due to lack of social interaction; that parents and caregivers are not equipped to educate their children; that homeschooling is only for White, Christian, middle-class parents; and more. Experienced educator Christy-Faith disproves all those assumptions."-- Provided by publisher.
