Think again. Today in America, two million primary- and secondary-school students are homeschooled. Growing at a rate of 10 percent annually, homeschooling represents the most dramatic change in American education since the invention of the mimeograph--and the story has only just begun. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Year of Learning Dangerously, \u003c\/i\u003e popular blogger, author, and former child actor Quinn Cummings recounts her family's decision to wade into the unfamiliar waters of homeschooling--despite a chronic lack of discipline, some major gaps in academic knowledge, and a serious case of math aversion. (That description refers to Quinn.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrying out the latest trends, attending key conferences (incognito, of course), and recounting the highlights and lowlights along the way, Quinn takes her daughter's education into her own hands, for better and for worse. Part memoir, part social commentary, and part how-not-to guide, The Year of Learning Dangerously will make you laugh and make you think. And it may or may not have a quiz at the end. OK, there isn't a quiz. Probably. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quinn Cummings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780399537745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuinn Cummings \u003c\/b\u003eis an Oscar-nominated actress (\u003ci\u003eThe Goodbye Girl, Family\u003c\/i\u003e), and the critically acclaimed author of the memoir \u003ci\u003eNotes from the Underwire\u003c\/i\u003e.
