Today more than one and a half million children are being taught at home by their own parents. In this expanded edition of the book that helped launch the whole movement, Pat Farenga has distilled John Holt's timeless understanding of the ways children come to understand the world and added up-to-the-moment practical advice. Rather than proposing that parents turn their homes into miniature schools, Holt and Farenga demonstrate how ordinary parents can help children grow as social, active learners. Chapters on living with children, "serious play," children and work, and learning difficulties will be of interest to all parents, whether home schooling or not, as well as to teachers. This new edition is supplemented with financial and legal advice as well as a guide to cooperating with schools and facing the common objections to home schooling.Teach Your Own not only has all the vital information necessary to be the bible for parents teaching their own children, it also conveys John Holt's wise and passionate belief in every child's ability to learn from the world that has made his wonderful books into enduring classics.

A new edition of the home education classic. First published in 1981, Teach Your Own has helped thousands of people from all over the world to start homeschooling. This edition omits just three chapters which dealt with homeschooling laws in North America; now that homeschooling is legal throughout Canada and the US this information is outdated. However, the timeless insights into how children learn that Holt writes, and his perspective on homeschooling as being completely different from just school at home, make this book more timely, useful, and important than ever.
