Quinn Cummings
A year of homeschooling. What could possibly go wrong? , In this honest and wry memoir, popular blogger, author, and former child actor Quinn Cummings recounts her familyâ€™s decision to wade into the unfamiliar waters of homeschooling â€“ the fastest-growing educational trend of our time -- despite a chronic lack of discipline, some major gaps in academic knowledge, and a serious case of math aversion. (And thatâ€™s just Quinn.), Quinnâ€™s fearless quest includes some self-homeschooling â€“ reading up on education reform, debating the need for â€œsocialization,â€ and infiltrating conferences filled with Radical Unschoolers as well as Christian fundamentalists (and even chaperoning a homeschool prom). Part personal narrative, part social commentary, and part how-not-to guide, The Year of Learning Dangerously will make you laugh and make you think. And there may or may not be a quiz at the end. OK, thereâ€™s no quiz. Probably.
