	For all of those interested in home schooling, I strongly
recommend the following references:

Teach Your Own - a book by John Holt.  Excellent guide to reasons to home
		 school, answers to very many questions that people have
		 when considering home schooling, methods to go about it, 
		 legal hassles, etc.  An excellent investment (~$15.00).

Growing Without Schooling - This is a newletter put out, also by John Holt,
		 which contains a compendium of extremely valuable information
		 for the home schooler or people who are considering home
		 schooling.  It comes out every 2 months and includes articles
		 on current legislation and court cases (nationwide) pertaining
		 to h-s, many articles by home schoolers describing their
		 experiences (the most valuable part of the newsletter, to us -
		 also comprises most of the bulk of the newsletter itself), and
		 in addition it provides a directory of all people (organized
		 by state) who have asked to be put on the list as resource
		 people to contact for home schooling in their area.  The 
		 directory is quite large, and is put out in its complete form
		 only once a year.  The most current directory is GWS issue #36.
		 The subscription rates are:  $15 for 6 issues (1 yr), $24 for
		 12 issues, and $30 for 18 issues.  A single issue costs $2.50.
		 Back issues (there are 36 in all since its inception) and an
		 index to the first 30 issues are also available.

		 The address is:
