The Teenage Liberation Handbook
by Grace Llewellyn
revised, expanded international edition
Your life, time, and brain should belong to you, not an institution. This Handbook is for everyone who has ever gone to school, but it is especially a book for teenagers and people with teenagers in their lives. You'll read:
- good reasons to think about quitting school.
- how to reclaim your natural ability to learn and teach yourself.
- how to get your parents? support, keep your friends, and stay out of legal trouble.
- how to design a personalized education you can get excited about.
- how to go to college without going to high school.
- how to find volunteer positions, apprenticeships, and other work opportunities.
- how other unschooled teenagers live and learn.
"This is a very dangerous book. It contradicts all the conventional wisdom about dropouts and the importance of a formal education. It is funny and inspiring. Do not, under any circumstances, share this book with a bright, frustrated high-schooler being ground into mind fudge by the school system. This writer cannot be responsible for the happiness and sense of personal responsibility that might [result]."
"An irreverent and thought-provoking guide . . . very thorough and highly entertaining."
"Sooner or later you're going to realize that you've been cheated out of a real life by missing a real education-when that time comes Grace Llewellyn's Handbook will save you a thousand hours of frustration, false starts and missed opportunities. Anyone who follows this clear blueprint is certain to meet the future with courage, enthusiasm, resourcefulness and the abundant love of life that the author has. She demonstrates brilliantly that school and education are two very different things, defining the latter precisely and with such a wonderful zest the reader is left dazzled with his own rich possibilities. Get this book now so it will be on hand for the great emergency when you wake up."
