Each issue is a lively exchange among readers and Holt, packed with useful advice, resource recommendations, and all sorts of legal, pedagogical, and parenting ideas from people who pioneered what we now call homeschooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume 3 covers a period when homeschooling was getting more local, national, and international media attention and the growth of the movement comes alive in these pages. Holt's long essay in \u003cem\u003eGWS\u003c\/em\u003e 32, \"Our Legal Situation,\" addresses this growth and offers surprising advice to those who want to overturn compulsory school laws--don't do it. Parents correspond about letting their homeschooled children try school, other parents write in about a museum run by kids, self-taught musicians, and famous unschoolers, to name a few of the many evergreen topics printed in \u003cem\u003eGWS\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Holt (1923-1985) is the author of \u003cem\u003eHow Children Learn\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHow Children Fail\u003c\/em\u003e (which have been in print for over 50 years, and together have sold over a million and a half copies) and eight other books about children and learning. His work has been translated into more than 40 languages. Once a leading figure in school reform, John Holt became increasingly interested in how children learn outside of school. The magazine he founded, \u003cem\u003eGrowing Without Schooling\u003c\/em\u003e, reflects his education philosophy, which he called unschooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 574\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.16 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 16, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751560872224,"sku":"9781732188525","price":37.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5b42bb8a09adeea3aedd995ce6b8aeb8.webp?v=1779975884","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/growing-without-schooling-the-complete-collection-volume-3-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
