Links and Book Review: Back to School Edition

It has been so nice to see the different perspectives on schooling this week. Since I am a homeschooler, I'm afraid most of my links cater to homeschoolers. However, any parent can use these to teach their children at home no matter where they get their primary academic education.

A book that has been most helpful to me is Marilyn Rockett's, Homeschooling at the Speed of Life. It is great for encouragement and practical help from a veteran homeschooler. It includes a CD with forms to use in your homeschool and perhaps even in your non-homeschooling home. Marilyn teaches you how to blend the home and school into a real homeschooling experience that allows you to get math and laundry done at the same time.
