Challenging Assumptions in Education: From Institutionalized Education to a Learning Society by Wendy Priesnitz - Why our assumptions about children and how they learn aren't preparing them for life in the 21st Century. And what parents and policy makers can do to change the situation for the better. This controversial book explains why unschoolers (also known as life learners) help their children live and learn without schooling, and provides inspiration and support for families who have chosen that exciting path. It also challenges progressive-minded non-unschooling readers – including teachers, parents, and legislators – to revolutionize the public education system, using what homeschoolers know about how children learn.
