Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. Remainder mark to bottom outside page edge, shelf wear to jacket, spine sunned, no marks in book. Audience: General/trade. In a well-paced and colloquial style, Holt argues eloquently that in place of compulsory education children will learn to become unhampered "do-ers"--free to learn where, when, what and how they see fit. He explains the success of alternative models like the Beacon Hill Free School in Boston (serving adults mostly); the Learning Exchange in Evanston, IL (rekindling the John Dewey spirit of the wholeness of learning); the Children's Community in Ann Arbor (emphasizing entirely unstructured and undefined learning); and the Ny Lilleskole (responding to Denmark's large, conventional schools in which teachers and students coexist in a formalized relationship).
