If you’ve ever felt that your child wasn’t flourishing in school or simply needs something the professionals aren’t supplying, you’re ready to become a “guerrilla educator.” Revolutionary and inspiring, Guerrilla Learning explains what’s wrong (and what’s useful) about our traditional schools and shows you how to take charge of your family’s education to raise thinking, creative young people despite the constraints of traditional schooling.

Llewellyn, a lecturer on the subject of home schooling and author of the classic “Teenage Liberation Handbook,” wrote this how-to book for parents who want to become more involved in their children’s education–whether through home schooling or by supplementing traditional instruction. She offers five fundamental principles–opportunity, timing, freedom, interest, and support–that, she claims, will transform the way we relate to our children and greatly assist them in growing up to be joyful, passionate creators. Useful for parents and teachers alike, this valuable book closely examines how young people learn and illuminates its practical advice with many stories that make for both insightful and enjoyable learning. Whatever schooling venue parents choose, this book will help them instill a lifelong love of learning in their children. A great book fo those you know who are thinking about homeschooling their children, especially teenagers.  206p.
