Description
xAN ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR ALL TEENAGERS CONSIDERING EDUCATION OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL Does any of this sound like you?
- You find regularly attending school difficult or you have been excluded
- School makes you feel unhappy, ill or overwhelmed
- You get so angry at school that you just can't keep doing what you're told to do
- You haven't found the right environment to support your learning
- You are home educated, either because you want to be or because your parents felt they had no other choice You might not have met anyone else like you, but there are a surprising number of teenagers who do not go to school. Some of them are home educated, but others are just not attending school regularly. Then there are many more who do attend but aren't learning there. This is not a book which will tell you how to go back to school. You will not find anything here which tells you that without school, your life is ruined. This book is about how you can get an education without going to school. Education is compulsory, but school isn't the same thing as education. School is only one way to get an education. This book is about some of the other ways. Co-written by expert clinical psychologist Dr Naomi Fisher, who has helped many teenagers deal with navigating education outside of mainstream schools, and by bestselling author and illustrator Eliza Fricker, along with seventeen teenagers who have given their experience of learning outside of school.
