The Legacy of Sam Blumenfeld, Home School Pioneer

Hal and his guest author Charles Moscowitz remember the late Sam Blumenfeld, the unsung hero of the home school movement.
Sam was a prolific author and tireless advocate for getting your children out of public schools, and providing real tools for education, including his groundbreaking work on phonics.
Some of Sam’s work can be found here.
