Description

Patrick Farenga and Kenneth Danford are veterans of the unschooling approach and share their work to make this option more available to people around the world. Patrick has been working with Growing Without Schooling and Holt Associates since 1981, disseminating the ideas and books of unschooling pioneer John Holt.
