      abstract = {Explores the experiences of homeschooling mothersMothers  who homeschool their children constantly face judgmental  questions about their choices, and yet the homeschooling  movement continues to grow with an estimated 1.5 million  American children now schooled at home. These children are  largely taught by stay-at-home mothers who find that they  must tightly manage their daily schedules to avoid burnout  and maximize their relationships with their children, and  that they must sustain a desire to sacrifice their  independent selves for many years in order to savor the  experience of motherhood. Home Is Where the School Is is  the first comprehensive look into the lives of  homeschooling mothers. Drawing on rich data collected  through eight years of fieldwork and dozens of in-depth  interviews, Jennifer Lois examines the intense effects of  the emotional and temporal demands that homeschooling  places on mothers' lives, raising profound questions about  the expectations of modern motherhood and the limits of  parenting.},
