    <body><![CDATA[Guterson makes a compelling case for homeschooling.  As a teacher, himself, his Gatto-speak resonates deeply with me and probably with anyone who has lived inside the institution.  His style is much more academic than Gatto, but he touches on many similar points.

He makes the case for homeschooling even while making the case for being a good public school teacher.  I liked David Guterson's writing long before he became a big-name novelist!]]></body>
