Ms. Ransom envisions her contribution to the series as both an
all-inclusive beginner's guide and a tool that established home
schoolers
can use to revitalize their practice. But she also focuses heavily on
how families can create a schooling experience that uniquely suits
them.

Interview with Cafi Cohen (in Home Education Magazine

Home Education Magazine's Older Kids' columnist, Cafi Cohen,
homeschooled her two children, Jeff and Tamara. Her first book, "And

April 2001)
