Publisher's Note
This significant volume studies the growing body of research on home education, and offers a broad analysis of this movement. Introductory chapters present the most current information on the demographics of the movement and on the social and academic outcomes of home education. Beyond these data, the broader implications of the movement are considered in chapters discussing legal issues and policy analysis. Additional chapters provide historical and sociological analysis of the conflicts between parents and schools that often precipitate the decision to home school. The volume ends with an anthropological analysis of learning in the informal home setting and a philosophical critique of the movement as an abandonment of a belief in the efficacy of common schooling.

Industry Reviews
A broad analysis of the home-schooling movement, with chapters on the demographics of parents and children involved, academic achievement, the motivations of different groups, day-to-day interactions, state regulation, a historical perspective of the family's and the school's role in education, and a critique of John Holt's educational philosophy. Also available in paper (unseen), $29. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
