Book Review
The Call To Brilliance reviewed by Rebecca Browning I am reading The Call To Brilliance with great enthusiasm. I received an e-mail from the author's son and after reading the prologue online felt compelled to buy it. I am not done reading it yet, however, I find my self feeling relief and comfort in the author's words. I have been saying and feeling all the things acknowledged and expressed in the book concerning the current plight of our young people in this system we call education. As I watch my son, who is blessed with many talents and gifts, struggle within the compliance oriented system which seeks to "mold" and "label" him, I continue to look for ways to help him break free and live outside the box. He is now a senior in a private high school, yet being there makes him feel less rather than more, although there are some bright spots for him. I have watched my younger sister home school her children and I am thrilled with what she is accomplishing -- her children actually love reading and learning. They are bright, energetic and well-adjusted kids. I wished I had known about homeschooling when my son was younger. I wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to see this amazing book. After reading some of it, I went online and discovered the author's blog. I don't think it's official yet since there is no mention of it on any websites and there is only one recent post "Should parents be allowed to homeschool their children?" Well that's it for me. Thank you for allowing me to share this with you. Please let me know if you are reading this book too. maybe we could start a discussion? Also, would you happen to be able to recommend any other books regarding homeschooling?

Pioneering members of the home education movement in Australia, Beverley and Robin Paine are passionate advocates of true educational choice for families. They began homeschooling their children in 1986 and three years later started the South Australian Home Based Learners network.
Beverley wrote Getting Started with Homeschooling in 1995-97 and since then continues to write books and booklets on home education. She balances spending time helping home educators with working in her garden and renovating her home, as well as continuing to build her collection of writing on a variety of homeschooling subjects. Beverley maintains an extensive collection of websites as well as several Yahoo groups supporting families teaching their children at home.
In 2007 Beverley joined the HEA and was a committee member for three years during which time she edited and produced the HEA Newsletter, Stepping Stones for Home Educators magazine, annual Resource Directory and other HEA publications.
