They're Your Kids

An Inspirational Journey from Self-Doubter to Home School Advocate

De: Sam Sorbo

Narrado por: Sam Sorbo

Is school for your kids a resounding success? For most of us, education was an uncomfortable process of sitting in stifling classrooms, listening to tedious lectures, struggling over stressful exams, and feeling like we were wasting our time and energy.

There were class clowns, ruthless bullies, teacher’s pets, popular kids, and students no one wanted to be around. What if we admitted to ourselves that the public school system is tragically flawed, instead of blindly relying on the same misguided, decrepit bureaucracy for our precious children?

“Because that’s how I grew up,” just doesn’t cut it anymore. Our children deserve better than to be institutionalized in an education system developed during the Industrial Age. Once you understand the disintegration behind the classroom door, the solution becomes clear. This book then guides you through implementing a better educational approach for your family - one that is tried and true.

Sam’s extraordinary story, her discoveries, challenges, and triumphs will encourage you to embrace the wonderful benefits and incredible possibilities of home education for your beloved children.

Concerned for the future of your children? Think you can’t homeschool because you work full-time? Frustrated with your child’s so-called teachers? Anxious about schoolyard bullies? Too scared to even consider homeschooling your children?

Be a hero to your children, skip the school drop-off lines and fundraisers, and enjoy a better kind of parent-teacher meeting - the one in the mirror! This audiobook can show you how.

Engaging but a lot of unverified claims

If you’re looking for a book to justify your decision to homeschool (which I was), this one will do that.

It’s engaging and definitely offers solid homeschooling arguments.

The problem I have is that there are a lot of claims made in this book that don’t have verifiable research to back them up, and believe me, I dug.

I’m not someone to take things at face value just because another person said it, or even better, wrote it in a book. There were more than a few occasions during this book where I stopped to research where certain claims, accusations, etc were originating and generally couldn’t find anything other than Reddit threads and internet gossip.

If you care more about hype than facts this book will definitely have you on the homeschool bandwagon (which i am - but I personally prefer credible claims).
