Eric McGeer, Varsity’s Soldiers

ventures (including some of the other titles in the University of Chicago Press' History and Philosophy of Education Series, of which this book is a part), this book coheres.Its historical and normative components blend seamlessly.An unfortunate side-effect of this, however, is that the history, especially in the first chapter, tends to reduce the complexity of the past into a tidy narrative that fits the book's larger argument.Peters' own background is in legal history, and it shows in his tendency to turn history into a sort of amicus curiae backstory for Dwyer's argument.Second, I agree with the authors' admission that their proposals are likely to go nowhere.Dwyer's arguments are more subtle and powerful than those of many other legal scholars often dubbed "critics" of homeschooling, but it does not matter.There is simply not a constituency that cares enough about regulating homeschoolers to advocate for these recommendations.There is, however, a large, well-organized, and motivated constituency committed to ensuring that recommendations like these never get a legislative hearing
