About this book
Warm and wise, grounded and liberating, Homegrown offers clarity and encouragement to homeschooling parents, asking what it means to build a life where learning and love grow side by side.
Homeschooling is the fastest-growing form of education in America, and it's here to stay. If you're a homeschool veteran, finishing up your first year, or are just homeschool curious, Homegrown is destined to become a go-to resource.
This collection of 30 original, thought-provoking pieces from a diverse group of contributors covers common questions such as
· What fuels families to educate children at home?
· How do relationships, culture, and vision affect the decision to homeschool?
· What roles do spouses, friends, extended family, and communities play in our ability to homeschool?
· How do culture, heritage, history, and legacy seamlessly intertwine with reading, writing, and arithmetic?
· Why is raising our kids this way so important, and how do we prioritize it?
Whether your aim is to nurture your child's passions, support their individual learning style, or connect with a community of like-minded families, this book will be your trusted companion every step of the way. Spanning age, race, ethnicity, political beliefs, geography, religion, family size, educational philosophy, and more, the essays in Homegrown provide parents with guidance and inspiration to kickstart or refine their homeschooling practice with creativity, connection, and confidence.
