I am reading a new book on homeschooling from a black
mother's perspective. She successfully homeschooled
her 3 sons. Two (twins) are currently at Princeton and the
youngest is at Amherst.
It is quite an interesting story and I reccommend it to anyone
interesting in homeschooling and in vouchers as well. These
parents were not poor, they were successful, middle-class
blacks whose children were in one of the *best* private schools.
I don't want to describe the mom and dad's reasons for this
because she does it herself so much better than I can unless
I type her words. Suffice it to say that as a black family, they
felt, despite there own education in prep schools and ivy
league colleges that their own boys were *not* getting the
best education and that institutional racism was involved in
that fact.
At any rate, this is a book worth reading.
