In Perspectives on a Child's Education, proponents of four very different learning options present their faith-based positions on how a parent should answer the question, "Where should I send my child to school?" Troy Temple (International Center for Youth Ministry) is convinced every Christian parent should consider public schooling. G. Tyler Fischer (Veritas Academy) believes open admission Christian schools are best for Christians and non-Christians alike. Mark Eckel (Mahseh Center) favors covenantal Christian schools that don't enroll non-Christians. Michael Wilder (Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) advocates homeschooling. For each contributor's chapter, a counterpoint chapter from the other contributors follows with a goal of determining which view is most in line with what the Bible teaches.

Perspectives on Your Child's Education
As a homeschool graduate and enthusiastic home educator-to-be (I have a toddler and a baby at present) I'm always interested in reading on this topic, including differing viewpoints.
"Perspectives on Your Child's Education" offers four views on the schooling issue: public schooling, open admission Christian schools, Christian schools (that don't enroll non-Christians) and homeschooling.
I enjoyed the book's format - each position is written by a different author who's perspective is then critiqued by the other three authors. Reading through it I felt like I was listening to a good (friendly) debate. Each author made good points and many positive and negatives were addressed for each choice, challenging some of my pre-existing opinions.
While I did walk away firm in my previously held conviction and decision to homeschool, I felt like I am better able to understand the differing educational choices individuals make.
I wouldn't call this book an in-depth work on the where-to-school question (which I don't believe was the authors' intent) but it is an interesting and easy read and will help you think through your choice of education for your child, understand others' choices better, and perhaps lead to an interest in further study.
(I received this book free of charge from B&H publishing for the purpose of an honest review.)
