When we took over the John Holt bookstore, we never thought we would have

the chance to carry a new book by John Holt (who died in 1985). Okay, it's

not a "completely" new book, but it is largely new. Long out of print (with

used copies often going for much more than the original purchase price!),

the classic "Teach Your Own: A Hopeful Path to Education" has now been

updated and re-released.


The new version is entitled "Teach Your Own - The John Holt Book of

Homeschooling." Appropriately enough, it has been updated and edited by

Patrick Farenga, the president of Holt Associates. Pat has combined personal

stories and the resources from his own book, "The Beginners Guide to

Homeschooling," with this classic work by the father of the modern

homeschooling movement. The original was published in 1981 and was the

source of inspiration for many parents considering homeschooling. Holt's

words are every bit as inspiring today and show a timeless common-sense that

will have nodding your head in agreement as you read along.


This book will help you avoid the trap of turning your home into a miniature

school. Instead, you will be encouraged to take advantage of the flexibility

homeschooling offers you to provide an educational experience that is nearly

impossible to duplicate in schools. If you are already homeschooling but

have ever had moments of self-doubt, or wondered how to face relatives who

question your decision, then this book will restore your confidence and

remind you of the many benefits of the path you have chosen. If you are just

getting started or only considering homeschooling, then this book will help

open your eyes about the many possibilities and will supply you with a

wealth of information and resources to help you on your way.


Legal advice and suggestions for countering common objections to

homeschooling are included. An extensive bibliography and several appendices

will provide you with information on other books, correspondence programs,

curriculum suppliers, helpful private schools, homeschooling organizations,

learning materials, and opportunities and activities. This is a "must have"

book for every homeschooler!



List price is $18.00, but for a limited time is available from FUN Books for

$12.50. Go to http://www.fun-books.com/specials.htm

Thank you!
I just ordered a copy.
I am always hoping to come across this one in the library or even a
book store and never do. ( I found "What Do I Do on Monday" on the
free table at our library! Which was cool, but not really relevant
to my life.)
I don't know if I'll learn any more in this book than I have learned
from all the wonderful souls on line that have given so much of their
time, but it will be nice to have on hand and to lend or cite as a
referance to what we are doing with our lives.
