The teenage liberation handbook by grace llewellyn

The book starts with an extended parable, then a “note to parents” that makes clear this book is written for teenagers, not for them! I might describe it as zine in style manifesto in tone handbook in structure. The Teenage Liberation Handbook is an early classic of the “unschooling” movement, an “irreverent and thought-provoking guide” to venturing outside the schoolhouse and into the wider world of learning.Īs the subtitle indicates, Llewellyn “demonstrates brilliantly that school and education are two very different things”, and that a resourceful teen may want to explore his or her extra-classroom options!
