SonshineLearner Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 (edited) Brian Ray... I think he'd fit the bill..... Chris Klicka.... (he had a jd, so that's a "law doctorate"....) Edited February 6, 2010 by NayfiesMama Actually, H. Wayne House does, too, but I'm not sure about the authors in the book... he's the editor...It's an older book:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Home Educated and Now Adults: Their Community and Civic Involvement, Views About Homeschooling, and Other Traits by Brian D. Ray, Ph.D. For nearly 20 years, critics and the curious have been asking about the homeschooled: But how will they do in the “real world” of adulthood? As a corollary, they have also asked: What about socialization? This unique study takes a look at the lives of over 7,000 adults from across the United States who were home educated during their elementary and secondary school years. The purpose of this study was to describe and gain more understanding about these adults. In particular, the focus was on their general demographics, attitudes toward their own home-education experiences, and successes in life. Success was evaluated with respect to civic, social, educational, employment, and worldview traits. The target population was all adults in the United States who had been home educated, regardless of whether thought positively or negatively about having been homeschooled. A written survey (questionnaire) and follow-up interviews were used to gather information about the participants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueridge Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think (not 100% sure) that Homeschooling For Excellence by David Colfax was written by parents who have doctorates. It was the first book I read on the subject! http://www.amazon.com/Homeschooling-Excellence-David-Colfax/dp/0446389862/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265494529&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela in ohio Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Kingdom of Children might work. I'm not sure if Stevens is a Ph.D., but I'm assuming they just want to make sure the book is balanced, and Kingdom is from Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology, so it is not from within the movement.

Guest Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Rebecca Rupp, "Getting Started in Homeschooling" and "Homeschooling Year by Year." My best friend did her dissertation on homeschoolers several years ago. It's titled "Doing School and Having Fun: Tensions Between Family and School Conceptions of Education," done at UCSD in 2006. Her name is Charlene Bredder. The dissertation should be available on-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
