Publisher's Summary

Eighty-two percent of parents believe myths about homeschooling. Keep reading to make sure you’re not one of them!

Kent Larson understands the myths about homeschooling better than most because he believed them all. 12 Homeschool Myths Debunked presents his journey from opponent to advocate using compelling, fact-based answers to the most common homeschooling objections.

12 Homeschool Myths Debunked tackles the myths head-on including those relating to socialization, academic performance, and college admissions. Did you know one of the most extensive studies ever conducted of homeschooler standardized test scores found them to be 37% higher than those of average public school students? If you’re surprised by this result, you’ll want to hear our study details, followed by SAT results which are even more shocking!

Does the topic of homeschooling trigger arguments with your spouse? Do you doubt your ability to manage it all? Do your friends or family members think homeschooling is a dangerous idea? 12 Homeschool Myths Debunked delivers compelling answers to the toughest questions.

In this book, you will discover: 

  • The one myth that must be debunked, because it keeps people believing all the others
  • Why homeschoolers are getting into many of the best colleges
  • Reasons homeschoolers don’t become isolated
  • How to keep unfounded biases, assumptions, and stereotypes from harming your kids
  • Which schooling choice produces the best socialization
  • Why people wrongly assume they don't have the patience or aptitude to homeschool
  • The real reason some kids are socially inept, goofy, awkward, and nerdy
  • Stacks of empirical evidence and relatable first-hand experiences
  • Why men are resistant to homeschooling and how to change their mindset

Does homeschooling seem overwhelming?

Initially, I assumed homeschooling would require a burdensome amount of tracking and reporting. It had to, I reasoned, thinking about the massive bureaucracy of the US education system. I envisioned piles of paper, my wife frazzled as she pulled all-nighters to get grades and attendance submitted to some government regulatory body. Thankfully, that’s not the case at all, as you'll hear....

With clarity and humor, the listener is guided through the minefield of myths surrounding the topic of homeschooling. This book clears the field, freeing you to evaluate all education options without bias.

If homeschooling were the best choice for your family, wouldn’t you want to know?
