College-Prep Homeschooling is written especially for parents who want to teach their children at home through the high school years but doubt their ability. Dr. David Byers, a college professor with a PhD in education, and his wife Chandra are veteran homeschoolers of over 12 years. In their book, they provide clear and detailed information about how parents can not only be successful homeschooling through high school, but how they can help their children develop the learning skills needed to be successful in college and in life.
They have been supremely successful homeschoolers themselves. Not only did they teach all six of their children at home from preschool through high school, but their two oldest are now attending the University of Nebraska at Omaha on scholarships.
You don't have to be a professional teacher, a genius, or a structured person to homeschool well. Many people believe they can't homeschool because they are lacking some magical quality or skill successful homeschoolers have. The truth is that homeschooling can be done, and done well, by most ordinary people.
Terrie Lynn Bittner's book will take you by the hand and show you how. She breaks the job down into doable chunks and carefully explains each part, giving you the confidence you need to get it done. Her explanations are clear and thorough.
But this book does more than give information—it also reassures parents who may be disorganized, shy, insecure, less educated, or otherwise not the "ideal" homeschooling parent, and shows them how to succeed.

Socialization may well be the single most important aspect of education today. With high and rising rates of divorce, drug abuse, youth violence, alcoholism, teen promiscuity, and so forth, we cannot afford to let this issue go unexamined.
To cling to the idea that what we, as a culture, are doing now is the right and best way for all children, simply because it is what we are used to, is to shut our eyes and minds to other possibilities—possibilities that may well afford greater happiness, success, peace, and safety to our own children.
At a time when people feel more disconnected than ever before, we cannot afford to overlook an option which offers our youth great benefits—including the rich, fulfilling, and healthy social life they may well need for the future. Homeschooling offers great social benefits to kids and parents. When we understand them, our children are the ones who will win.
