The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook

By Ray and Dorothy Moore, this book was previously published as Home School Burn Out.

I did enjoy this book, but probably not as much as I thought I was going to. It seemed like an awful lot of fluff to get across a simple homeschooling method. I did like that they included a lot of family stories about how families were able to make their method work. Not sure if it is right for us though.

There are a few things I picked up,

"Children are not little buckets to fill up, but little trees to grow".

"You are the greatest gift that you can give to your children. And your best for your children under your circumstances will likely be far superior to the teachers best with nineteen other children under her circumsatnces".

Man, is that ever a good way to put what I experienced when teaching a third grade class long term. There were too many children, too many other things to be done, too many of everything and not enough of me.
