School’s out. Now what? Choosing to step off the conventional education path and leave school behind is often the culmination of a long, and sometimes emotional, process. But, in the bigger picture, it’s really just the first step on your new path. Welcome!
School’s Out is a curated collection of some of my published articles, in an order that I think aligns well with the unschooling journey. I also had a lot of fun putting them together, magazine-style, in the PDF edition, as well as creating more streamlined ebook editions.
And now, with more and more people enjoying audio content, I thought it was high time I created an audio version as well! However, with ten articles, I’ve split it into two parts for the podcast. Part 2 will come out next month.
If you’d like to download the free ebook edition (PDF, epub, or mobi), you can get it here: download the School’s Out ebook
Or, you’re welcome to read the articles individually on my website:
The Timetable of Learning [ en español: El Horario del Aprendizaje ]
Why Not Yes? [ en español: ¿Por qué no un Si? ]
Finding Patience [ en español: Encontrando Paciencia ]
And if you’re ready to dive even deeper into the personal work that embracing unschooling invites us to do, consider joining Anne Ohman, Anna Brown, and me for the Childhood Redefined Online Unschooling Summit. Enrollment is now OPEN until October 20, 2019.

Hi,
I’ve just begun unschooling with my 12 yr old
You speak about teaching your children how to make choices. Could you expand on that please.
Thanks
Hi Glenna,
I think it’s less about teaching them and more about helping them as they learn, through experience, how to make choices that make sense for them. It’s the experience piece that’s key. They learn SO much from making choices and seeing how they work out. And that’s information they bring with them next time they make a choice. And we’re there alongside them, supporting them, and having lots of conversations with them as they think about all the different aspects of the choice at hand. 🙂
