Some good quotations from "I Saw the Angel in the Marble"

I recently happened across a new blog, ~Unwaveringfaith's Journey~. There was this post which mentioned a book about homeschooling, I Saw the Angel in the Marble. Jennifer included several quotes, here are a few:

"We are so used to thinking of school as children sitting in desks, listening to lectures, and working on pre-packaged curriculum for six hours a day, 180 days a year, over a period of twelve years, that we have a hard time imagining any other way."

"The less involved the Dad is with the homeschool, the more resistant children tend to become (especially the boys). Fathers can help their sons learn productive and respectful ways to assert their masculinity. A Dad's active involvement in the home school also communicates to his children that he considers this a very important endeavor."

From the review on Amazon it sounds like a decent book.


One of the books I've read recently on homeschooling is Homeschooling Take a Deep Breath - You Can Do This! by Terrie Lynn Bittner. It is a good general book on how to get started with education at home.
