Description
Over two decades ago, Grace Llewellyn, a school teacher from Colorado, published The Teenage Liberation Handbook: How to Quit School and Get A Real Life and Education. Michael Jodah reflects on his earlier life as a teenager struggling with many issues, including bullying, social isolation and poverty. Through Llewellyn’s work, and others, he concluded that school was largely contributing to his misery. This is a retrospective and narrative piece on Jodah’s experiences growing up and the book that has helped transform his life and the lives of other unschoolers.
