Synopsis

It's Not Easy Being A Homeschooling Parent Today. Educating One's Children Is A Huge Responsibility. There Seem To Be More Answers Than There Are Questions! Everyone Has A Textbook, A Method, Or A Philosophy. But How Are We Supposed To Figure Out Just What Path To Take? For More Than 25 Years, Sherry Hayes, The Homeschooling Mother Of 15 Children, Has Been Asking These Same Questions About Education. During Her Own Journey, She Has Read Books And Research By The Most Insightful And Influential Homeschooling Leaders Such As Dr. Raymond And Dorothy Moore, Ruth Beechick, Charlotte Mason, John Taylor Gatto, And Many More. They Were True Pioneers Of The Current Homeschool Movement And All Were Dedicated To The Welfare Of Children And Their Families. But How Do We Implement These Ideals? Sherry's Heart Was Burdened With The Realization That There Were Many Others Just Like Her That Were Seeking A Way To Simplify Their Homeschooling Into A Coherent System Which Made Room For Individual Personality And Gifts, But At The Same Time Gave Each Child Structure As Well As Discipline. She Came To Realize That The Modern Educational Systems And Methods Are Strangely Unique In Our Human History, And Have Failed Us Abysmally. Never Before Have We Had So Much Knowledge At Our Fingertips, And Yet, The Literacy Rates Of Our Nation's School Systems Are At An All-time Low. Despite The Fact That We Live In The Information Age; The Divorce, Homicide And Suicide Rates Are At All-time Highs. Our Children Face Greater Challenges Today Than We Would Have Ever Dreamed; Nevertheless, Many Don't Have The Tools To Handle These New Demands And Pressures. It Is Time We Threw Out The Progressive Educational Philosophies And Ideologies Which Have Lead Us Here. We Need To Turn Back The Clock And Promote The Fear Of God Which Is The Beginning Of Wisdom. We Must Revive The Unswerving Christian Devotion That Used To Be Lived Out By Our Predecessors Before The Present Narcissistic Influence Of Humanism Took Over! We Can Rediscover The Tools Of Learning That Helped Our Forefathers Overcome The Great Obstacles Of Their Time, That Have Only Recently Been Replaced By Dumbed-down Work Texts And Worthless Statistics Which Require No Higher Thinking On The Part Of Young Learners. Homeschool Sanity: A Practical Guide To Redemptive Home Educating Is Sherry's Attempt To Communicate A Way Back To Common Sense Learning. It Is A Pathway Back To The Simplicity And Joy Of Gaining The Knowledge Born Out Of Reverence For The God Of The Bible. It Is A Journey Filled With The Grace And Truth Of Jesus Christ. This Book Is Easy To Read. Even If One Only Has Time For Perusing, Something Useful And Encouraging Will Be Gleaned.
