This booklet is a low-cost source of basic information on what home education is about and how it works - a bit of a baseline, a bit of a signpost. I hope that the answers here will make it easier for families that are beginning or considering a transition to discern their paths. It can be used secondarily as an aid for the family and friends of those who have chosen to take an option that can feel risky or mysterious. The bites of information here can give supporting family and community the facts they need to see more clearly how home schooling generally works.
