About this title

From the Back Cover:

What's a father to do? That's the question being asked by dads and moms alike in today's home education movement. Some look at Dad as a substitute teacher; if he can't be in the 'classroom' then he's out of the loop. In other families, Dad is the school janitor,cleaning and doing laundry so Mom can have more time with the children. Rick Boyer, father of thirteen home-taught children, says that neither of these stereotypes is correct. In The Hands-on Dad, Rick shares seven Biblical functions of the father and shows how they apply to home education. These important and practical insights can set both Mom and Dar free to be their best for their children.

About the Author:

Rick and his wife Marilyn are pioneers of the home education movement, having begun teaching in 1980. They are the parents of fourteen children, all of whom have been educated at home. Five of those children have graduated high school at home, one is a college graduate, and one son is married. Rick's down-to -earth approach and homespun humor have led some to call him the Will Rogers of the homeschool movement.
