Reviews

"This memoir is brilliant in the way the author devised her own strategy to give her 5 children the best education available and possible. Dr Crèvecoeur is very candid in recounting her story which led her to quit her medical job to raise her kids full time and to become their classroom teacher. She gives us great insight on what made her homeschooling experience successful and the pitfalls to avoid. She also shares how she navigated the educational system to get her kids what they needed when they needed it."
