If you are not sure about your ability to "home or un"school
Rating:
5 / 5
This is a great view into a the human mind in it's early stages. This book has given both my husband and myself the confidence to trust ourselves to trust our CHILD with their ability to learn, and their desire to learn. A very thoughtful, kind book.
metaphors of education
Rating:
5 / 5
The book includes three common metaphors that rule, unconciously, the way educators think and act in schools. Understanding these three metaphors is a necessary step towards changing the education system.
The myth of education, the truth about learning
Rating:
5 / 5
In clear, direct language, Learning All the Time describes the crucial difference between learning (making sense of the world)and education (being forced to digest and regurgitate what someone else dictates). Without vitriol, John Holt exposes how our children are harmed more than helped by institutional schools. He shows how all children are natural and gifted learners and how educational systems frustrate and fracture their innate curiosity about the world. His insights, ideas, and experiences show how to support children as they teach themselves. I wish I'd had this book when my child was born.
