Many people remember attending public schools when there weren't metal detectors on the doors, police officers patrolling the parking lot, and school shootings were virtually unheard of. Most kids graduated with adequate reading, writing, and math skills. The values taught in school were similar to those held by parents and the local community. Public education has been in decline for many years. Millions of families would likely leave public schools if they were aware of all the available options. Whether it's starting a homeschool, forming a co-op, or sending a child to a faith-based school, this book provides families with a comprehensive guide for achieving their goals. Topics include why parents should leave public schools, the alternatives available, and how to afford them. There are also ideas for how to involve the local community and why the Church should be involved in the educational process. This book is for any parent looking for alternatives to government-run schools and churches hoping to start a faith-based education program.
