These children are largely taught by stay-at-home mothers who find that they must tightly manage their daily schedules to avoid burnout and maximize their relationships with their children, and that they must sustain a desire to sacrifice their independent selves for many years in order to savor the experience of motherhood. \u003ci\u003eHome Is Where the School Is\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive look into the lives of homeschooling mothers. Drawing on rich data collected through eight years of fieldwork and dozens of in-depth interviews, Jennifer Lois examines the intense effects of the emotional and temporal demands that homeschooling places on mothers' lives, raising profound questions about the expectations of modern motherhood and the limits of parenting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Lois\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814752524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJennifer Lois\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Sociology at Western Washington University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40183699898483,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":27.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_6e17964a-7b9c-4695-b3b8-353bae5d3211.jpg?v=1655558140","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/home-is-where-the-school-is-the-logic-of-homeschooling-and-the-emotional-labor-of-mothering-9780814752524","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
