I submit our book, “A Patriot’s History of the United States,” is superior to Bennett’s in a number of ways. 1) It’s a single volume; 2) no offense, but our research into the topics (as seen in our voluminous endnotes vs. Bennett’s) blows his out of the water; and 3) he’s just “light” all the way across on analysis.
I think one of the keys to homeschooling someone successfully is to make sure they have as many other outlets as possible to interact with and socialize with people their own age whether it be through sports, church, or service organizations. I’ve met some perfectly adjusted and spectacularly educated homeshooled kids over the years and i’ve met some who were very sheltered and odd. Such is life though. Some parents are better than others and some homeschool parents are better than others.
