A carregar... The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get a Real Life and Educationpor Grace Llewellyn
![]() Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. ![]() ![]() The Teenage Liberation Handbook is not for teenagers, nor is it a handbook. It cries out for an editor with a stack of red pens and/or a delete key. There are probably some good ideas and potentially some practical advice for teens and parents who are dissatisfied with their school experience and are looking for another answer--but these are buried in chapters and pages of unsubstantiated accusations, dismissive assessments of traditional schooling, and dozens of anecdotes from kids who love their new-found freedom. The author claims she is writing for teenagers, but in fact, one of the problems with this 400+ page book is that its form and content are not targeted clearly enough. Very few readers, let alone teenagers, will wade through the first 120 densely-written and obviously unedited pages which essentially comprise a rant against public schools and traditional educational systems. A handbook should have, IMHO, a clearly organized series of chapters with step-by-step helps for families who want to make an educational change. It should be clear, concise, and mostly unemotional. "Handbook" implies "how-to"--and yes, there are how-to's in this book; but its just not worth wading through the propaganda to get to it. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
The Teenage Liberation Handbook is (still) the only complete guide to unschooling written for youth. It tackles everything~ - why to consider self-directed education - communicating with reluctant parents - "getting a social life without proms" - designing a "tailor-made intellectual extravaganza" and getting into college - finding great mentors, apprenticeships, and volunteer positions Devoted fans of the Handbook include not only teenagers and college students but also thousands of parents, teachers, young adult librarians, school counselors, and college professors. The new edition is loaded with updated resource sections, a thoughtful new introduction, and refreshed text throughout. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
