- Kingdom of Children: Culture and Controversy
in the Homeschooling Movement
- by Mitchell L. Stevens
- Moving from why parents opt for home-schooling to the long-term
effects on their children, he draws on interviews with a mix

radicals and persuasively contextualizes the movement within
the "organizational strategies of the progressive left and
the religious right" in their attempt to preserve their
core set of values: "the sanctity of childhood and the primacy
of family in the face of an increasingly competitive and bureaucratized
society." 15 pages of excerpts available.

Public "Homeschool" Programs
The homeschooling community constantly
debates on whether or not it is wise to participate in public
school-sponsored programs, such as an ISP or charter school designed
for homeschoolers. Are public isps a threat to homeschools? Should we insist on our rights as tax-payers
to force the schools to let our kids participate in sports, drama
and music? Does participation harm the rights of those who wish
to remain independent? What about government funded programs
mascarading as homeschool programs? Can we have our cake and
eat it, too?

By Dr. Karen Palasek.
