This is an absolutely brilliant book. As a home-educating parent of four children, I have found this book invaluable in navigating the high school waters. Shirley covers every conceivable question about home educating kids for high school, from the various forms of certification to entrepreneurial options. This book provides parents with pros and cons of a variety of approaches as well as the information needed to start and obtain certification. Because this book is written with the South African context in mind, it's particularly relevant and helpful. I also have appreciated the chapters outlining the real-life experiences of many South African home-educating families where grown up students have gone on to start their own business, obtain university qualifications, start families and contribute towards society in valuable ways. As a result of reading this book, I have now a much better picture in mind as to which of the various paths my children should pursue in order to maximise their potential as people in this world.
