So Why Do You Home School
$15.49Add to cartIs Homeschooling the Best Option for Your Kids? New book explores why home education is on the rise
LONGWOOD, FL-On November 2, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (California) ruled that parents do not have the right to preview or object to sexual or psychological material presented in school. In this particular case, elementary school children (ages 7 to 10) were given a questionnaire to rate themselves based on their emotions and feelings about activities of a sexual nature. This, yet another of that court’s controversial decisions, is just one of the reasons parents are pulling children from school systems in record numbers. School shootings (most recently, in Tennessee, November 9) and other school crimes are more negative factors contributing to the positive growth in home education. Parents of children with special needs are routinely blamed for their children’s problems but are given no options to solve those problems “in the system.” Public Education is always in the news with some scandal or another, while homeschoolers are often in the news for exceptional achievement. Homeschoolers are matriculating into college in record numbers, and people want to know how they do there and in the rest of life. Hurricane Katrina has forced many parents to homeschool who would never have considered it otherwise. Is this really the best option for their kids? So – WHY Do You Homeschool? answers questions posed by the millions of friends, relatives, and neighbors of homeschoolers in the United States.
Why has homeschooling experienced exponential growth in the last ten years and now between 2.2 and 4.2 percent of all children in the United States are homeschooled? That is the question many parents and public school advocates are asking, and it is the fundamental question answered in So – WHY Do You Homeschool? Answering Questions People Ask About Home Education (November, $12.99, 1-59781-572-1) by Mimi Davis. Over 70 other questions such as “What about being ‘Salt and Light’ to the public schools?” and “When did homeschooling begin?” are answered in ways that provoke deeper contemplation from both homeschooling veterans and public school advocates. So – WHY Do You Homeschool? has a broad appeal for inquisitive minds from all backgrounds. This is a perfect introduction to homeschooling for those considering home education for their own families. It was also written to refresh average homeschoolers in their homeschooling mission. Put the facts about homesc

Origins Of Tolkiens Middle Earth For Dummies
$22.99Add to cartJ.R.R. Toklien’s novels of Middle-earth-The Hobbit, The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, and The Silmarillian-have become some of the most famous, and most beloved, literary works of the twentieth century. And the Lord Of The Rings films by director Peter Jackson have re-ignited interest in Tolkien and his works, as well as introduced his stories to a new generation of fans.
Even if you’ve never read the novels and have only seen the films, you know that the world of Middle-earth is a complicated one. Tolkien took great care in representing this world, from creating new language to including very particular cultural details that add to the richness of the world’s fabric. Many other books have been written about Tolkien and his works, but none have come close to providing the kind of reference needed to comprehend the world of Middle-earth. That’s what veteran Dummies author and unabashed Tolkien fan Greg Harvey attempts to do in The Origins Of Tolkien’s Middle-earth For Dummies.
