The Year of Learning Dangerously

A year of homeschooling. What could possibly go wrong? . In this honest and wry memoir popular blogger author and former child actor Quinn Cummings recounts her familys decision to wade into the unfamiliar waters of homeschooling the fastest-growing educational trend of our time -- despite a chronic lack of discipline some major gaps in academic knowledge and a serious case of math aversion. (And thats just Quinn.). Quinns fearless quest includes some self-homeschooling reading up on education reform debating the need for socialization and infiltrating conferences filled with Radical Unschoolers as well as Christian fundamentalists (and even chaperoning a homeschool prom). Part personal narrative part social commentary and part how-not-to guide The Year of Learning Dangerously will make you laugh and make you think. And there may or may not be a quiz at the end. OK theres no quiz. Probably.
