SAN ANTONIO (MMD Newswire) November 11, 2009 -- Clint's Story: A Public Schoolteacher's Case for Homeschooling by John Evans is intended to serve as a defense of homeschooling as a well as a practical guide to educating children at home.
Evans argues that parents should have the right to choose the best education model for their children and that homeschooling is often a superior choice. Originally skeptical about homeschooling, Evans reconsidered his position after his son, Clint, was diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The book recounts how Clint struggled in school despite hard work and a great attitude. Desperate to help their son, Evans and his wife, Robin, brought Clint home and taught him themselves, a journey that offered unexpected challenges and rewards. Now a published author and craftsman, Clint is portrayed as an example of the potential benefits of home education.
"Clint's story shows how we successfully homeschooled our son even though he faced some special challenges," Evans says. "The experience taught us that homeschooling is a viable - and often superior - option for many parents and children."
The book blends autobiographical accounts of the Evans' experiences along with perspectives and information on how to educate children outside the public school system. It also addresses common objections to homeschooling and provides explanations for why public schools may not be meeting certain children's needs, among other topics.
Clint's Story: A Public Schoolteacher's Case for Homeschooling is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
