Help! I Just Pulled My Kids Out of School
Help! I Just Pulled My Kids Out of School
by Nina Elena (with sections by Vicki Bentley in most chapters). One reviewer wrote: "I am impressed by how much wisdom [is] packed into “Help! I Just Pulled my Kids Out of School.” The book is a quick read, written in a very friendly and straightforward conversational way. She seems to answer all of the questions that were rolling through my mind at just the right time, along with tons of extra tips and insights. If you are considering homeschool, or even if you have been doing it for a few years like us and just need a refresher on some of the basics, get this book!" 166 pages, paperback
