Sandra Dodd's Big Book of Unschooling by Sandra Dodd
2.0
revising this because the author took offense and called me out about what i wrote.
i'm not sure why it's unreasonable to come to the conclusion that this is a copy/paste of her website when the dedication says "For Hema A. Bharadwaj, who said she wanted my whole unschooling website in a book. I said it wasn't possible, but the thought stayed, and here's an artistic impression of my website in a book, for Hema." but i used that word "just" and apparently there are some copy/pasted things, and some new things, and some things that ended up on the website from the book after it was published.
so i read the dedication and skimmed through the book and came to the conclusion that it was the website in a book and wrote that down in my review, with the intention that maybe it would be helpful to someone else. knowing how the book is formatted might be useful information to have. this format wasn't for me.
original review from 2012: i'm not saying this book doesn't have good information to share but i didn't like how it was set up. i didn't realize that it was just a copy/paste from her website before i bought it. i just picked it up at the HSC conference because sandra's name was on it. i gave it to my husband as a reference guide. maybe he'll find it more useful.
