Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book helped me understand that there is an acceptable alternative to the public school norm without endangering the talents or acceptability of the child. I read the book when it first came out when my daughter was in second grade. She has been home schooled since, and is now a senior at BYU, she turned 19 yesterday. I have no regrets and if you are looking for assurance that homeschooling has a chance in your family, read the book for comfort. Not every child will match Alexandra's schedule, but most will thrive when given the opportunity.

The engaging story of Swann's experience growing up as a Southern Baptist homeschooled child from New Mexico earning her education at a highly accelerated pace. At the age of fifteen, she became the youngest student ever to graduate from Brigham Young University in its 111 year history. Her nine brothers and sisters have also been homeschooled and have completed their studies at a similar pace. Swann recounts her family's experiences with warmth, humor and affection in this poignant narrative which draws the reader into the Swann household and allows him to meet Alexandra, her brothers and sisters, and her parents, John and Joyce Swann."No Regrets" is much more than a synopsis of the Swann's educational achievements, however.It is a story of love, friendship, perseverance, sacrifice, and the bonds of family. Totally unlike any other book whch appeared on the subject, the insights which this book offers will help every reader create an atmosphere in which his child can excel, whether in the home classroom or in the public or private school sector.
