Without it many of us might not have had the courage, strength, or know-how to leave school, or even considered unschooling a possibility. This book enables teens to find their strengths, and inspires young people to transform their dreams into rewarding lives and careers. Ms. Llewellyn explains the legal issues surrounding leaving school, and gives good advice for talking to parents. An invaluable resource; a gold mine; a bible of the independant learner, the TLH is guaranteed to open your mind, whether you have been unschooled your entire life, or are still attending public school and perhaps only harbouring the thought of escaping. All books by John Holt, especially "Teach Your Own" (ISBN: 0907637094). John Holt is the founder and father of the unschooling movement. He has written many books about unschooling. He also started the internationally known newsletter on unschooling, Growing Without Schooling . His books are aimed mainly at parents, but could be very valuable resources for teenagers as well.
