I know that I am one of many people-teens, parents, teachers, activists-who can make that statement with utter certainty. My life changed because of this book, clearly for the better. After reading it, I was derailed into leaving the system to start a program that would help all of my students use the wisdom and lifestyle described in these pages. Three pivotal events divide my life into “Before” and “After” moments: 1) meeting my wife, 2) becoming a parent, and 3) reading The Teenage Liberation Handbook.īefore reading this book, I was a teacher committed to reforming schools by working my way up the system, presumably to someday become the Secretary of Education. Ken is the co-founder of North Star: Self-Directed Learning for Teensand Liberated Learners, author of Learning is Natural, School is Optional: The North Star Approach to Offering Teens a Head Start on Life, and a former public school teacher. This is a must-read for anyone who is considering the grand adventure of unschooling. Its refreshing rebellious philosophy is infused into our lives to this day. This handbook shook up my family’s views of learning and life, and gifted us with liberating and exhilarating new ways of experiencing our unschooling journey.
