The National Parent Information Network (NPIN) was created in
1993 to collect and disseminate information about high-quality
resources for parents. One of the services provided by NPIN is
"Parent News," an Internet magazine that focuses on topics of
interest to parents and to professionals who work with parents.
Compiled in response to requests for a publication that would
introduce those without Internet access to the activities and
information available through NPIN, this "Best of" sourcebook
provides and "offline" collection of education, parenting, child
development, and family life information. Following descriptions
of NPIN and of the Educational Resources Information Center
(ERIC) and the ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early
Childhood Education, the sourcebook is divided into four sections
paralleling the sections in the Internet version. Articles in the
"Feature Articles" section cover topics including work and
family; brain development in young children, early education for
special needs children, technology and the family, talking to
children about sexuality and AIDS. Articles in the "Community
Spotlights" section explore topics including the strength of
family literacy, home visiting, and grandparent programs.
Articles in the "Of Interest" section discuss topics such as
building resilience in children, adolescence and gender issues,
living in a stepfamily, and attention deficit/hyperactivity
disorder. Following a brief description of the authors of the
Parent News articles, the sourcebook concludes with full-text
copies of ERIC digests produced by clearinghouses in the ERIC
(Educational Resource Information Center) system. These digests
explore topics such as spanking; kindergarten entrance age;
bullying in schools; the risks of rewards; homeschooling gifted
students; and standardized testing in the schools.

This paper identifies patterns in the academic and social
development of six homeschooled students (with learning
disabilities or giftedness) based on a seven-year longitudinal
study of 100 home-schooled students. It contrasts findings on
the effectiveness of home schooling with accepted expectations
for special education students in the formal education system.
The paper also examines parents' educational backgrounds and
pedagogical approaches. For the four students with learning
disabilities, the study finds that one has graduated and the
others are likely to graduate and will probably continue with
postsecondary education. These students became good (though
late) readers and have good self-esteem. Analysis of the
educational environments of the three gifted students studied
(including one who was also categorized as learning disabled)
found that parents focused on following the students' interests
and providing a stimulating academic and social environment.
For both gifted and learning disabled students, the study finds
that the educational philosophies and pedagogies employed
emphasize: (1) a focus on the whole child rather than primarily
on the child's disability or extreme ability; (2) individualized
attention; and (3) care, patience and respect for the child that
leads the teaching in both the timing and content of instruction.

Many people dissatisfied with the public school system are
actively seeking alternatives to public education. In the past,
the only alternatives to public school were parochial or private
schools or privately hired tutors. Not everyone could afford
these alternatives. Over the past 20 years, another alternative
to public school education has come into being, namely home
schooling. This paper provides an overview of home schooling and
describes a survey of home schooling parents. The overview
discusses the reasons parents home school, the curriculum,
socialization issues, support groups, legal issues and
requirements, and advantages and disadvantages of schooling at
home. A survey of 12 home schooling parents from the Bronx (New
York) and Manhattan (New York) showed that most had been home
schooling for over 5 years and all had a college education.
Reasons for home schooling included religion, opportunity for
individualization, and ability to monitor closely children's
learning and personal relationships. All chose their own
curriculum, and most were not concerned with lack of
socialization, believing that socialization at public schools is
negative and preferring to provide other social opportunities for
their children, such as community group involvement. All parents
found home schooling to be a tremendous amount of work, and all
used a local support group. On the whole, parents agreed that
their children's reactions to home schooling were positive and
appreciative.

Dissatisfied with the performance of government-run schools,
more and more American families have begun teaching their
children at home. Estimates of the number of homeschooled
children vary widely; the best estimate is 500,000 to 750,000,
but some estimates range up to 1.23 million. All observers agree
that the number has grown rapidly over the past 15 years. There
are two historical strains of homeschooling, a religious-right
thread inspired by author Raymond Moore and a
countercultural-left thread inspired by John Holt. Their
differences illustrate the various concerns that cause people to
choose homeschooling: some want religious values in education,
some worry about the crime and lack of discipline in the
government schools, others are concerned with the declining
quality of education, and still others just feel that
children are best educated by their parents. A recent boom in
the number of homeschooled students winning admission to
selective colleges demonstrates both the growth and the
effectiveness of homeschooling. The lesson for educational
reformers is that homeschooling, with minimal government
interference, has produced literate students at a fraction of the
cost of any government program. Homeschooling has been
largely deregulated, but further deregulation would make parents'
task easier.

First defining and tracing the historical background of home
schooling in the United States, this paper then researches how
home schooling families are using computers and online
technologies. Two separate surveys were conducted. The first
was a voice-to-voice survey to determine a computer usage
baseline from a population of 103 home schooling families. The
second survey employed a checklist to examine posted online
information for and about home schooling. Sixty-two sites with
adequate content, representing 137 home schooled children, were
surveyed from August to September 1996. Checklist data were
compared in four different ways: (1) reasons for home schooling;
(2) methods of home schooling; (3) reasons for using online
services; and (4) ages of home schooled children using online
services. The following conclusions were drawn: families home
schooling for religious reasons were more likely to have
computers, but less likely to have an online service; use of
computers in home schooling families across the country was about
70% and those with online services, about 17%; all of home
schooling families with online services used e-mail for social
reasons and about 92% used e-mail for information; recreational
use of online services made up about 68%; less than 7% of the
home schoolers engaged in online classes; packaged online
services were used more by religious home schoolers;
larger families used generic online services; the mean ages of
unschoolers were younger than those of the total population;
unschoolers made up about one third of the home schooling
population; and about 60% of the families with online compatible
computers had an online service. Six tables and 15 figures
summarize the data.

advanced readers. Each entry in the book includes brief
annotations, comments on what readers will learn about historical
events, and suggestions for reports and activities. The book

teachers as a tool to blend fiction into their curriculum; for
homeschooling parents as assistance in lesson planning. The book
contains an expanded section for eighth graders on the American
Revolution and the Civil War. The stories in the book reflect
the many cultures of America, including African Americans,
Asians, Europeans, Latinos, and Native Americans.
