About this title

Synopsis

Life is the School, Love is the Lesson is written to help the novice or the reluctant mind to understand the fun adventure of effective home schooling in an open format. Every page is image-rich with large text and can be read on its own, with the intention of helping the young person and parents to dream big. It is designed to be an inspiring and entertaining read like a coffee table book, filled with ideas, stories and resource links Self-education does not need to be a chore. Amazing kids develop from having the freedom to learn from what they find most exciting. The whole family thrives when the learning path supports what is interesting and relevant to the entire household. A mom and son take the reader on a pictorial journey of their 8th grade year free schooling on the island of Kauai. The chorus of voices in the book demonstrate the vibrant lives of the self-educators, many of whom are renowned surfers, musicians and exceptional people. The intention is to help a family understand the ease of learning directly from what life teaches and how to utilize other educational opportunities available within communities. An impassioned learning structure can also make sense within a school. The discussion extends to explore the philosophical reasons to return to place-based, active learning. Flexible methods are outlined for schools to embrace self-directed learning programs for more efficient, meaningful education and healthier communities. Our changing world is demanding these vibrant learning methods.
