Description
The Wiley Handbook of Home Education is a comprehensive collection of the latest scholarship in all aspects of home education in the United States and abroad.
Presents the latest findings on academic achievement of home-schooled children, issues of socialization, and legal argumentation about home-schooling and government regulation
A truly global perspective on home education, this handbook includes the disparate work of scholars outside of the U.S.
Typically understudied topics are addressed, such as the emotional lives of home educating mothers and the impact of home education on young adults
Writing is accessible to students, scholars, educators, and anyone interested in home schooling issues
