This is a method of homeschooling that uses materials from any and all sources, rather than following a pre-set program or curriculum. Eclectic homeschoolers typically use home-made materials as well as those from the library or used, old books, found at thrift stores or garage sales that are perfectly valuable and often more carefully written in more formal English than newer editions are. This method requires a certain amount of parental confidence in knowing what they want their children to learn and how to go about it, as well as how the child learns best.
