A leading expert in childhood development makes the case for why self-directed
learning -- "unschooling" \-- is the best way to get kids to learn.
In Free to Learn, developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that in order
to foster children who will thrive in today's constantly changing world, we
must entrust them to steer their own learning and development. Drawing on
evidence from anthropology, psychology, and history, he demonstrates that free
play is the primary means by which children learn to control their lives,
solve problems, get along with peers, and become emotionally resilient. A
brave, counterintuitive proposal for freeing our children from the shackles of
the curiosity-killing institution we call school, Free to Learn suggests that
it's time to stop asking what's wrong with our children, and start asking
what's wrong with the system. It shows how we can act--both as parents and as
members of society--to improve children's lives and to promote their happiness
and learning.
