Home Grown Kids - A Practical Handbook for Teaching Your Children at Home By Raymond and Dorothy Moore

Home Grown Kids

As time has passed in the history of the world, the accumulation of that history has made getting a good education more critical than ever.  The very survival of our nation and our future is dependent upon how well our children assimilate what history has taught us about what works and what doesn’t.

Seeking the best way to accomplish this task involves not only finding the best curriculum available, but at a cost we can afford.  Within the current mindset of educating our children, the public school system is experiencing ever-increasing costs while seeing a lowering of standards that, if left unchecked, may well find us falling behind the rest of the world.

In the world of education, while progressing from the one room schoolhouse to grades kindergarten through high school and on to college, one thing stands out: we look to the child’s age as the main factor determining what grade they are assigned.  Unfortunately, that is often no guarantee to proper learning, since it is known that not all children are created equal just because they are the same age.  Into this arena comes a series of books that provide some well-needed information addressing this dilemma.

Following publications of “Better Late Than Early” and “School Can Wait” Raymond and Dorothy Moore have put together an easy to read approach to teaching children at home with “Home Grown Kids”.  This is a practical guide when it comes to teaching within the home for the adults who care the most about the children: the parents.

In part one of the book, “Family Or The State?”, you find titles such as “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle…” or “Parents In Charge” and the authors leave no doubt where this book is going: a head on collision with the current mindset regarding the education of the child.

In part two of “Home Grown Kids” titled “Steps In Parenthood” you will find extensive yet easy to comprehend advice, starting with “Setting The Stage For Birth” and ending in chapter nine with “The Reasoning Sevens, Eights and Nines”.

From the standpoint that the educational system has it exactly backwards when it allows developmentally challenged children to stay home, yet demands by law that “normal” children receive a public education outside the home, “Home Grown Kids” shows why it is just as vitally important to have the option to teach all children at home, regardless of learning comprehension or capability.

“Home Grown Kids” is a wonderful source of encouragement that will give you needed ‘push back’ to the ‘powers that be’ in order to more intelligently determine your child’s destiny as it pertains to his or her education.  Honestly, who better to direct the course of a child’s future than the parent?  With “Home Grown Kids” that is exactly what you will receive in order to make an informed decision.

Packed with a wealth of references and resources, along with a forward by Dr. James C. Dobson, “Home Grown Kids” is sure to occupy a prominent place in your library.
