Editorial Reviews

Product Description

A new edition of the home education classic. First published in 1981, Teach Your Own has helped thousands of people from all over the world to start homeschooling. This edition omits just three chapters which dealt with homeschooling laws in North America; now that homeschooling is legal throughout Canada and the US this information is outdated. However, the timeless insights into how children learn that Holt writes, and his perspective on homeschooling as being completely different from just school at home, make this book more timely, useful, and important than ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational reformer John Holt on home learning, March 16, 2006
By John Gabree (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Teach Your Own: A Hopeful Path for Education (Paperback)
John Holt is one who thinks education is worth the bother, though his research for books like "How Children Learn" and "How Children Fail" has led him to reject most of the institutional trappings that encumber formal education. Instead, he has become a leading advocate of home schooling. Even parents who are not ready to take their children out of school will find useful advice for encouraging their children's natural inclination to learn. Parents who are serious about home schooling will find practical information, including legal strategies for keeping the educational police at bay.
