      Das Teenager Befreiungs Handbuch

      Glücklich und erfolgreich ohne Schule

      Dieses Buch ist gefährlich und widerspricht den üblichen Weisheiten über Schulabbrecher und die Bedeutung von Schulabschlüssen. Es ist inspirierend und könnte das Leben von frustrierten Jugendlichen, die im Schulsystem gefangen sind, verändern. Die Autorin übernimmt keine Verantwortung für das daraus resultierende Glück und Gefühl von Eigenverantwortung. Es richtet sich an alle, die jemals zur Schule gegangen sind, besonders an Teenager und deren Bezugspersonen. Der Inhalt bietet gute Gründe, über den Schulabgang nachzudenken, und zeigt, wie man die natürliche Fähigkeit, ein eigener Lehrer zu sein, wiederentdeckt. Zudem wird erläutert, wie man die Unterstützung der Eltern gewinnt, Freundschaften pflegt und mit Behörden umgeht. Leser lernen, ein individuelles Bildungsprogramm zu gestalten, ohne das Gymnasium zu besuchen, und finden heraus, wie sie ehrenamtliche Jobs, Praktika und andere praktische Erfahrungen sammeln können. Moritz und Thomas Neubronner sind bundesweit bekannt geworden, weil sie nicht zur Schule gehen. Ihre Eltern, zunächst frustriert über den Schulstreik, haben erkannt, dass ihre Kinder ohne Schule glücklicher und motivierter lernen – wie Millionen Kinder weltweit. Das Buch zeigt konkret, wie dies auch in Deutschland möglich ist.

      A compelling story about one family's journey into the unknown territory of homeschooling, told with skill by Alison McKee, a gifted teacher with a wide experience in traditional education and a special sensitivity to the individual needs of children. Trusting her own children to "show me the way" was a difficult challenge - but one that gave unexpected and rich rewards. Anyone familiar with the writings of John Holt will be interested to learn how things worked out for a family that decided to test his belief that children are the best directors of their own education. McKee offers the reader insights on how children learn, plenty of illustrations and practical advice about how "unschooling" works, and thoughtful commentary on the state of education today. This book will reassure parents considering homeschooling that nurturing children's natural desire to learn can empower their children to become enthusiastic life-long learners.
