The Teenage Liberation Handbook
How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Education
by Grace Llewellyn
|
| For everyone who has ever gone to school or is interested in the current national debate over educational reforms, but it is especially relevant for teenagers and the parents or caregivers of teens.

Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you;
you
must acquire it.
~ Sudie Back

Curiosity is the first step in learning. To understand a subject well, one must first have an interest in that subject, questions that need answering, and a desire to know more. True learning does not occur when curiosity is absent.
It is my goal here to provide articles and resources that will aid you in your journey of learning, whether you are a home educator, a homeschooler, or simply desirous of furthering your own education in some way.
I hope what you find here will only intensify your curiosity and lead you to learn more!

Dumbing Us Down
The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
by John Taylor Gatto

| In this tenth-anniversary edition, Gatto updates his theories on how the U.S. educational system cranks out students the way Detroit cranks out Buicks. He contends that students are more programmed to conform to economic and social norms rather than really taught to think.
