I read this book as a teenager! I was too inhibited to drop out and unschool, but I found the stories of other teenagers to be inspiring, and agreed with the analysis of conventional schooling posited in the book.

I was hoping for more practical ideas and suggestions, but this was mostly essay style writing from the author's perspective from her teaching days. Not as helpful as I would have liked.

Read it about 10 years ago. Thought it was great!

Fantastic book highlighting the importance of home learning and ways we can enable our children to get a "real" education.
