Home Education – Frequently Asked Questions Page 9

Grace Llewellyn _The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education_, Lowry House ($14.95 + $2 shipping) P.O. Box 1014, Eugene OR 97440. GWIGLEY@carleton.edu: We began to read [our teenage boys] excerpts from the book and they’ve grown increasingly interested. Except for the first chapter to parents, the author writes to teens. It’s an amazing book, the best I’ve come across thus far.

Donnie Curtis <dcurtis@lib.nmsu.edu>: …I’d like to add my praise for this book. My kids (6,9,14) have never been to school, and have been doing pretty well directing their own learning. But my 14-year-old daughter had been feeling a need to seek out further resources, so we bought Grace Llewellyn’s book. It has been our best resource (other than GWS); she has become inspired about her education, and has gotten many good ideas from the book. The author herself has a real love for learning and is able to convey it. The book probably works best for those kids who are bored and unchallenged in school, and not well for those whose interest in learning has been totally destroyed. I loaned it to a mother whose son was having school problems, and though she loved it, he was uninterested in anything that resembled a book.
