If mainstream schools could just try this a bit - a certain number of self- directed learning classes a week - and see the results first hand, maybe this could catch on in the mainstream. It's about finding that brave head teacher willing to spark the fire.
Great post! Wish I could have given my own kids a self-directed education - it wasn't even on my radar then... but now I use it as much as possible when I'm interacting with my adult kids and grandkids. Call me a fan!
My membership group filled with unschooling parents is discussing this book today! Thank you for sharing this Table! Loved the book.
