Homeschooling and the Voyage of Self Discovery: A Journey of Original Seeking
Library Journal (06/15/2003):
Albert, who holds formal degrees but maintains that his best education has come from his children, here provides a stimulating context for thinking about learning and homeschooling or, for new or seasoned homeschooler parents, a context for expanding their repertoire. His witty, practical, thoughtful, and challenging comments are sure to move readers, some to greater confidence in homeschooling efforts, others to try a more open approach so that children learn along with the homeschooling mom and dad. Albert's free-flowing discussions assure the reader that nature has provided each child with the ability and thrust to undertake the journey of original seeking and each parent the capacity to nurture. His charming stories cover many aspects of homeschooling, including how to deal with learning-disabled children, the historical advantages/disadvantages of various peoples, learning with teens, and social conventions. Recommended for education collections in all public libraries and for all teachers, who can take ideas from this collection of essays to make the learning process more than achieving set "standards."-Leroy Hommerding, Fort Myers Beach P.L.
