This post very briefly reviews William Jeynes, “Chapter 5: The Rise of Homeschooling as a Modern Educational Phenomenon in American Protestant Education” in the International Handbook of Protestant Education (2012), co-edited by Jeynes.
Jeynes is a professor of education at California State University Long Beach, and this is not the first time on the blog I’ve found work with his name on it to be substandard and poorly edited. This book chapter is very weak. It is basically a summary of the literature on homeschooling, but it’s not a very good one. (more…)
A second, fully revised edition of my 2008 book Homeschool: An American History, was published in March of 2017.
