"The
Unschooling Unmanual is a wonderful little read for parents
who are considering educating their children at home. I
enjoyed the stories of unschooled kids who are spending
their days, not stressing about grades and test scores, but
engaging in truly authentic processes of learning. I
hope that The Unschooling Unmanual will convince skeptical
parents that unschooling is a powerful way to give a child a
first class education." - Thomas Armstrong, author of In
Their Own Way
"Packed with great passages and quotes that
reinforce your choice to work with your children and
not on your children to help them learn." - Pat

review
"The Unschooling Unmanual offers a sampling
of articulate essays by educators and parents on the
philosophy and experience of unschooling, a version of
homeschooling in which no external structures, such as
classes or lesson plans, are imposed on the process of
learning." - Mothering Magazine
"I loved it! It's a perfect book
to have on your bedside table when you start doubting
yourself - perfect for new unschoolers and old unschoolers,
and a gold mine for skeptical dads. Still feeling the joy
from reading it!" - Alex P.
