Still Teaching Ourselves.
Leistico, Agnes
This book is the sequel to "I Learn Better By Teaching Myself," which argued that parents need to follow their personal parenting instincts and to trust that their students know what is best for themselves. Chapter 1 describes how the author's family became involved in home schooling. The second chapter describes how they set standards in the form of goals and how they decided the course of study. Activities and resources that proved successful are described in the third chapter. The benefits of forming a support group with other families are outlined in the fourth chapter. Chapter 5 offers suggestions for balancing schedules. The final three chapters describe each of the author's children and their transition into high school, college, and the work place. Contains a list of resources and an appendix. The appendix contains samples of quarterly performance reports. (LMI)
