“Most people’s biggest problem with homeschooling is they don’t really believe that they’re good parents. And that’s why the subtitle became How Amazing Parents Become Excellent Home Educators because you are an amazing parent because you are the parent that God created specifically for that child whether by birth or by choice. God put that child in your family. ” – Leslie Nunnery.
