The first time I read about Unschooling , I ignored it. Surely, it was a fad that would go away. When I read about it a thousand more times, I dug into it. Inspired by the teachings of John Holt (1923–1985), this free range branch of homeschooling promotes learning through nonstructured, child-led exploration. There’s no set curriculum or schedule; students learn what interests them with guidance from involved adults.

The latest book she co-authored—“The New College Classroom”—is a surprisingly lively read for a how-to book on teaching.
