Homeschooling is a large and growing phenomenon in U.S. society—the National Center for Education Statistics recently reported that in the last decade it grew at twelve times the rate of public school enrollments. Yet information about this population is terribly incomplete. In this groundbreaking book, Robert Kunzman uses his unprecedented access to six conservative Christian homeschooling families to explore the subset of this elusive world that most influences public perception and rhetoric about the homeschooling movement, from its day-to-day life to its broader aspirations to transform American culture and politics.

  • "Sensible ... I am keeping Kunzman's ... fine book on a nearby shelf where I can refer to it regularly." --Jay Matthews, The Washington Post
  • "This is the best observation of instructional processes in homeschool families that we have available, and is an essential reference for those interested in the homeschool population." --Kurt J. Bauman, Teachers College Record
  • "A very readable survey of the entire phenomenon of home-schooling; while [Kunzman] concentrates on those who choose to educate their children at home for religious reasons, the social implication of the abandonment of the public school system will be with us no matter what the reason." --Kel Munger, Sacramento News & Review
  • "Kunzman's book is an important look at an increasingly important educational and possibly church-state problem area." --Edd Doerr, The Voice of Reason: The Journal of Americans for Religious Liberty
