"I was the typical home schooling mom who used curriculum and structure to muddle through my day. I read Co-oping For Cowards hoping to find a way to make our co-op better. I found so much more than that! The authors are brilliant. Co-oping For Cowards is written so that anyone can understand and follow the directions. Now, not only is my co-op going to be easier, but my home school life in general will be easier. I am so excited for the new school year to begin. I feel that my children will not only be learning more this yer but will have more fun learning." — Cindy Roach, Panama City, FL

The Authors:Veteran Homeschooling mother of nine, Pat Wesolowski shares her experience — that getting kids excited about learning, then teaching them how to research, organize and prepare information makes home schooling "real" and much less stressful. Her Information, Please! book series has helped countless homeschooling families conquer a variety of research skills. But, according to Pat, preparing students to speak boldly in public is the real joy of co-oping. A frequent public speaker herself at homeschool conventions and support groups around the country, Pat credits her co-op experience with preparing her daughter to earn college scholarship money at a state speaking contest. Pat has published more than a dozen books, including Big Ideas Small Budget, Inventors, Inventions, & Entrepreneurs: A Research-Based Unit Study and Civil War: A Unit Study. Karin Carpenter is an "almost" second generation home school mother of four. Her mother home schooled her youngest brother back in the days when folks asked, "Is that legal?" A graduate of Bryan College wtih a degree in English/Secondary Education, she has taught math, Bible, and, of course, English, on the junior high, high school and college level. She also teaches a home school writing seminar designed for a mother/student team titled, "Get It Together: The Research Paper." It is coming out shortly in book format. D.P. & K.
