Education Revolution | Alternative Education Resource Organization

Angela Harris is a homeschooling mom to two never-been-to school kids. She began writing about her experiences after realizing that people might actually be interested in what she has to say on the subject.

Born in Southern California, and raised on the East Coast, Angela had a bit of an unconventional education, but did not consider homeschooling seriously until her first child was born. Believing that young children learn best from those that love them most, Angela and her husband, John, chose homeschooling for their two boys.

Understanding that “seeing is believing” Angela is motivated to share her perspective with other homeschoolers, or those that might be interested in an alternative education. She is convinced the current mainstream model is not only obsolete, but unsustainable, and hopes to provide other families with encouragement and direction as they choose to break away from mass forced learning.

In the fall of 2011, she co-founded a co-operative learning group that gives homeschooled children the opportunity to learn with their peers, facilitated by parents and other educators. After many years of trial-and-error, Angela advocates developing the self-taught learner as the best path to inspiring individualism and creativity. She writes about her observations on her web-site Raising Autodidacts.
