There's nothing like it - a must read (or listen)!

In summary, whether you're a total homeschooling hater, or a skeptic, or even slightly curious and interested or you're frantically looking for options after pulling your kids out of public school, this book is FOR YOU!! It also makes a great gift to the person who tells you - "I can never homeschool my kids" - which I still hear on a regular basis. I used to sweat bullets when I had to continue the conversation after hearing this claim from my friends and family, or even a total stranger - but NOT ANYMORE thanks to this book!!

My first impression is that it's concise and to the point, drama free as most men like to process their information. I was describing this book to my husband as one he would enjoy. Each myth is debunked separately - with no drama, no religion, and no personal attachment - though the author briefly discuss his own 'unbelief' in each myth, but they are kept logical and concise, which I really appreciate - I can imagine that most men appreciate it too.

With that said, I thoroughly enjoy the bonus material as well as the author's personal journey in the 2nd half of the audio. If the myths weren't debunked first, I wouldn't have enjoyed listening to the personal journey and the religious debates/thoughts portion at the end. Whenever I speak to homeschooling families, I usually try to find out what's working for them and what's not - and the journey each family makes to reach where they are at - so I really appreciated the author taking me through his personal journey, from being totally against homeschooling to a total supporter.

I know this book was written primarily for men, however, I wish this book was available 1.5 years ago when I was searching for resources regarding homeschooling. It was daunting and scary due to these myths and I was unsure where to start - the biggest fear of ruining my child's education. The biggest factor is that I was a working mom, so I didn't think reaching out to other homeschooling moms would help since I thought all homeschooling moms stay at home. This book is great resource for working moms - because the issues these women face are somewhat similar to dad's, especially regarding time and resources needed. Again, thanks to Kent Larson the author for having the courage to share his personal journey and thoughts to benefit all of us!!!
