Have you ever thought—”I could do better,” when it comes to
your child’s education? Whether you’re a homeschooling advocate or a certified
skeptic, any parent can relate to the desire to make life better (academically
or otherwise) for their child. —%uFFFD
Featured in our
May issue, Laura Brodie’s memoir One
Good Year: A Mother and Daughter’s Educational Adventure chronicles her
educational experiment as she decides to take her fifth grade daughter’s
schooling into her own hands. After feeling fed up with lackluster teaching and
overcrowding at her local Virginia
public school, Brodie also explores the bond that developed once mother and
daughter became teacher and pupil.
Lined with wit, this down-to-earth memoir is undoubtedly
accessible to any parent. Interested? Get a fresh perspective on homeschooling
