Je n'ai pas encore fini le livre, mais suis enthousiaste. Il comporte de nombreux témoignages et le "préfaceur" intervient souvent pour resituer les conditions d'aujourd'hui par rapport aux écrits de John Holt, décédé. Une grande remise en question de la scolarité de nos enfants, des matières enseignées, des rythmes imposés, etc. L'enfant par nature a envie d'apprendre, mais il est beaucoup plus autonome qu'on ne le pense. Que voulons-nous pour l'avenir ? Des enfants/adultes formatés pour récolter des distinctions à l'école et occuper les postes inventés par d'autres, ou des êtres capables d'inventer des lendemains ?

Well written, good explanations of Holt "unschooling", how it differs from deschooling or homeschooling. Many concrete exemples of families who chose to let their children learn Life, the Universe and Everything without the institutions who, as Ilich pointed well out, usually end up working the opposite way of what they were made for!
A good book for every parent who would like to try alternatives to school and what to respond to people sharing another point of view.

How People Learn

Do you remember what they taught you at school? Me neither. I learned to read very early on, mostly at home, and I still remember some math, but only because I balance my checkbook and know when I'm getting correct change at the market. All those years, isolated from the real world in the artificial environment of school, sitting at a desk all day with 30 of my same age peers, how was I to learn about what an actual life in the world is like, or about what I wanted to do with mine? I remember learning to take tests. Now I never take them. A lot of it was pleasant enough, some of it was not, most of it was boring, and somehow I never noticed that I was mostly wasting my time.
Now I know better having read John Holt, a sweet, caring man and a wonderful writer. He's radical, but he never rants. He persuades, gently, eloquently. He learns through years of careful, loving observation and by trial and error and he shares that with you in a way that makes it seem as though he's one of your oldest, most comfortable friends. He reminds you of what you went through in school. He makes sense. He's fun to read. And you know he's right as you read him, because we have all gone to school.

A treatise from the "granddaddy" of homeschooling

Format:Broché
In this unofficial treatise for the homeschooling movement, John Holt, longtime private school teacher, maintains that the traditional classroom model no longer works and may, in fact, ruin kids for learning. He exhorts parents to challenge the conventional wisdom and be their children's teachers. You don't need to be a homeschooler to benefit from Holt's books; you simply need to care about children and education and to have uttered, if only once, "There's got to be a better way."

Disapointing

This is an totally new version of a classic book. Instead of the classic work of Holt, much of it is a 'commentary' by the new author.
I didn't like the 'new' version. I bought this to learn from Holt, not read someone's 'commentary." I grew frustrated that instead of letting me read what Holt wrote, there was a ton of the new author stating "Holt said in Teach your own...."
Also, I didn't like that Farenga cut out big chunks of the book. ie he decided that we didn't 'need' to know about the histories of court rulings, and in one instance took the parent testimonials that Holt had used in one section the original book and added 'more modern
testimonials."
I got so frustrated that I bought a used copy of the original from Amazon. I got it yesterday and have read almost all of it. The original is really great.
The 'new' version reads as if was written by someone who really doesn't like unschooling.
I would recomend the 'classic' version!
