Book synopsis

Much of the existing research on home schooling §focuses on statistically describing home schoolers, §classifying families on the basis of their §motivations, or linking them to the privatization §agenda. In contrast to these studies, this §qualitative research study attempts to shed light on §an understudied aspect of home schooling, namely, §the lived experiences of mothers whose children §started out in institutional schools, but pulled §them out in order to home school. At the cultural §level, this study traces how the meaning of school §has evolved from the Aristotelian view of school as §schole or leisure into modern managerialist notions §of school as buysness. The mothers stories show §how their every day experiences collide with social §efficiency and bureaucratic processes schools have §borrowed from business. This analysis should be of §interest to parents, school professionals, and §policy makers.
