5.0 out of 5 stars Every intelligent teenager should read this book, 12 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This book argues that school is the antithesis of democracy, that children and teenagers are being deprived of their freedom and trained for life in totalitariasm and they are learning less than they would out of school. It makes the obvious point that schools destroy people's love of learning replacing it with a system based on fear of failure. It then offers advice on how to quit school including persauding your parents. The next section explains how to use different resources available in the community in order to learn and the final section explains the possibilities open to unschoolers to earn money . Every teenager should read this book, but so should every teacher, parent and politician.

5.0 out of 5 stars liberating in the best sense of the word, to kids & parents, 6 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Makes you wonder why you never came to these conclusions before, if you really wanted to see an "educated" public, hence a happy, common sensed, and open, public. It reaffirms what Jefferson and Locke and Aristotle saw in "Freedom" as the ultimate goal in personal and public happiness.
