Real Lives: Eleven Teenagers Who Don't Go to School Tell Their Own Stories by Grace Llewellyn

2.0

---

Eh. I know Grace Llewellyn is one of the greats of the unschooling movement but even as an unschooling parent, this book just did not do it for me. Not one of these kids is from an urban environment, there's one black girl, one Asian girl (adopted by a white family) and the rest are a pretty homogeneous group. The essays all feel irritatingly twee and precocious. I dunno... like I said, it just didn't pique my interest at all.
