resource with your friends, local and state support groups, and libraries. This guide is
available in bulk and single copies, now in both print and
electronic editions (pdf). Used by hundreds of libraries and support groups across the US
and Canada, the Homeschooling Information and Resource Guide contains essays and articles,
such as the following excerpt by favorite Home Education Magazine columnist, Earl Gary
Stevens:
"When they call me, parents first want to know if it is legally
possible to immediately remove their children from school. They are not interested in
arguing with authorities over the constitutionality of state equivalent education
regulations; they are interested in extricating their children with the least amount of
conflict and trauma. They are glad to learn that in Maine local school officials have no
authority in the matter and that it takes only a few minutes a year to jump through the
state's paperwork hoop. Then they are free to pursue their own version of the good life.
Many parents wonder if they are capable. I tell them that they will soon be wondering how
they could have thought otherwise."
This informative free guide
answers the questions parents ask about homeschooling issues and concerns. Questions such
as: "What if my child wants to learn something I can't teach?" The answer:
"You do not have to be the 'teacher' for everything your child
wants to learn. Your child may successfully opt to self-teach, or to get together with
other students to form a study group around a particular subject. You can hire a tutor or
barter for help with another interested family. Classes over the Internet or the
television, videos, and computer software are increasingly available options for many
families. Some students choose to take classes at a community college. When searching for
'teachers,' don't overlook friends, acquaintances, and businesspeople in your community -
most people are delighted to have a young person around who is sincerely interested in
what they do and know."
