Trusting her own children to "show me the way" was a difficult challenge - but one that gave unexpected and rich rewards. Anyone familiar with the writings of John Holt will be interested to learn how things worked out for a family that decided to test his belief that children are the best directors of their own education. McKee offers the reader insights on how children learn, plenty of illustrations and practical advice about how "unschooling" works, and thoughtful commentary on the state of education today. This book will reassure parents considering homeschooling that nurturing children's natural desire to learn can empower their children to become enthusiastic life-long learners. 598476 1 1 2002 Homeschooling Our Children Unschooling Ourselves total:52|5:19|4:25|3:5|2:3|1:0| 52 216 103 11 4 0 false false Mon Nov 02 14:50:10 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 15:00:26 -0800 2009
