Featured Publication: Beyond School: Living As If School Doesn't Exist by Wendy Priesnitz. This is a long-awaited fourth book about life learning (also known as unschooling, radical unschooling, whole life unschooling, or self-education) by unschooling pioneer Wendy Priesnitz. Beyond School is a collection of seventeen essays about how families and individuals can live and learn without coercion or struggles, and with trust, respect, dignity...as if school doesn't exist. Together, they create an impassioned but well reasoned case for a different way of helping children and young people learn about today's world while becoming equipped to live in tomorrow's world.
