Fundamentals of Home-Schooling: Notes on Successful Family Living by Ann Lahrson Fisher
From Linda Do bson's (author of Homeschooling Book of Answers) Foreword:
"In her opening note, Ann Lahrson-Fisher describes successful homeschooling's simple foundation as "living a satisfying learning lifestyle." Education characterized as a learning lifestyle instead of an ordeal to survive until you make it to the welcome reprieve of summer vacation. Success defined in terms of satisfaction instead of things. A family that plays, converses, and grows up together. Ah, yes, homeschooling is so different from - and so much more than - schooling at home.
"Forget about the "schooling" you received and focus instead on learning. Learning happens in a natural fashion when a child with curiosity even mildly intact sets off on an educational journey guided by a parent who is observant, caring, and "thinks out loud." (You'll find out more about this wonderful - and fun and effective - way to "teach" as you get into this book.)
"Lucky are the families newly turning to homeschooling, not only to have access to the wisdom of one who has "been there and done that," but also to receive that wisdom so neatly presented in a down-to-earth, common sense package as the one Fundamentals of Homeschooling has grown to be. Some of the ideas will leave you wondering, "Now, why didn't I think of that?" Others will be revelations that because of your own schooling you wouldn't have considered in a million years. All of the ideas are born of the author's experience, remembrances of the good and the bad, the personal successes, and lessons learned from the failures.
And that, dear reader, is what learning is all about."
