A compelling look at conservative Christian homeschooling families--and the worldview that could radically alter American political and intellectual life
Homeschooling is a large and growing phenomenon in U.S. society--between 1999 and 2007 it grew at "twelve times" the rate of public school enrollments, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Yet information about this population is terribly incomplete. In this groundbreaking book," " Robert Kunzman uses his unprecedented access to six conservative Christian homeschooling families to explore this elusive world, from its day-to-day life to its broader aspirations to transform American culture and politics.

Industry Reviews

"This beautiful little book looks into the daily routines of six conservative Christian families who homeschool their children. Employing the analytical eye of a former teacher and the balanced, thoughtful wisdom of a seasoned academic, Kunzman not only paints portraits fairly, but gently questions what he sees (much of which is deeply troubling) .... [It] may well become a classic in its field."--Choice

Not only a contribution to education policy debates, it's a model of thoughtful dialogue and generous insight on a topic on which debate often yields simply visceral left-right division."--Edward Gresser Director, Progressive Economy Project

"I am keeping Kunzman's . . . fine book on a nearby shelf where I can refer to it regularly."--Jay Matthews, The Washington Post

"This is the best observation of instructional processes in homeschool families that we have available, and is an essential reference for those interested in the homeschool population."--Kurt J. Bauman, Teachers College Record

"One of the most important books on homeschooling ever written."--Milton Gaither, author of Homeschool: An American History

"Illuminating . . . A sound piece of scholarship and one to be praised for its accessibility and the windows into the families' worlds it provides."--J. Gary Knowles, ENCOUNTER: Education for Meaning and Social Justice
