Rasberry, Greenway, ; Efroym, Max (Illustrator)

Published by Freestone Publishing Company, Freestone, California, 1971

In the style of the Whole Earth & Big Rock Candy catalogues, this book was written by a couple who were one of the first to explore "free schools" as alternative methods of educating children in the 1960s-1970s. They get down to the nitty-gritty with details about all the steps involved in creating a school in your own community, highlighting the needs of those from marginalized groups. They offer examples & experiences from the school they started in Freemont (Sonoma Country), Northern California, citing both historical & contemporary ventures. Viewing traditional school as "prisons" that stifle the mind, the book is dedicated to "the millions of children still in prison.and the handful of adults trying to help them,'' in 125 pages, with sepia-toned photos & sketches throughout.
