RE: [VIDEO] Unschooling Blog, Vol. 28: EVERYTHING is "educational" (Feat. Isaiah's new toy demo video!)

Great article. I will be looking forward to reading more of these in the future. I am not a parent yet, but plan to be in the near future, and I full intend for my kids to be unschooled. Do you have any book/reading suggestions? Thanks!

    Thanks, @agorist13. My number one recommendation would be A.S. Neill's Summerhill. This book changed my life, and that's not an exaggeration. It documents Neill's experience as the founder of a world famous democratic school in England. He describes in depth how children so shamed, suppressed, and made fearful by compulsory schooling are set free by self-acceptance, personal responsibility, and complete freedom.

    After that:

    Awareness by Anthony DeMello

    How Children Learn John Holt

    Dumbing Us Down John Taylor Gatto

    Hope this list helps!
