As the story opens, the Braddock household is in turmoil as the Westchester School Board attempts to quash the unconventional educational methods the family is practising. esperate situations call for desperate remedies even a cry for help to the mother-in-law from hell, who is only too happy to provide her loving services but at a price far higher than could be expected. harles Webb has a knack for pinpointing the horrors and absurdities of domestic life, and Home School displays all the precision and wit that made The Graduate such a long-lasting success.
