This is the third and final part of the Our Journey to Homeschooling series (be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2 of our story). In this post I share the books, videos, articles, and links that I found the most helpful during the searching, questioning, and looking process in determining if homeschooling was the right educational choice for our family. Some of these were hard to read/watch and many of them challenged our thinking and what we believe about education and schooling, but after all, that is what we set out to do and what we needed to do in order to make an informed decision. We own many of the resources listed below and are more than happy to loan them out to anyone wanting to search, dig, and question for themselves, so just leave a comment or shoot me an email if you are interested in borrowing anything.
