### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good read, but unschooling may close too many doors
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017*

5 stars because of an interesting subject and good writing.I disagree with unschooling, though, as I believe there are plenty of hours in the day, week, and year for a formal education, nature pursuits, and farm work.The problem with kids lack of nature isn't time wasted in school; it's because nature lacks 110V plugs. My wife grew up on a dairy farm not far from here, received a formal education in a k-12 school house, and because a pharmacist by age 23. Unschooling closes doors that need not be closed. You can live on a farm, wander the woods, go to school and soccer practice, and still have plenty of family time. Also, the author mentions today's lack of mentors for children. In my experience, I found them in school, and I'm very appreciative of that.So, a good read, but unschooling is too extreme.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fun to read and very inspiring!
  

*by K***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2015*

I read this book on the heels of Peter Gray's Free to Learn. Both of these books in combination make a great resource for any family considering unschooling or just looking for inspiration to allow their children more freedom, free play and exploration. While Peter Gray lays out a history, anthropology and philosophy of unschooling and benefits of free play, Ben Hewitt goes into detailed account and beautiful anecdotes of their own family experiences allowing self directed learning for their two sons. Beautifully written, nice humor, and vivid imagery.Ben Hewitt's three books, Saved, Home Grown, and most recent Nourishing Homestead make a great "Trilogy" for any family who are looking for more holistic and mindful ways of living.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Definitely makes you think!

Excellent book with great points. Reading this book while having small kids definitely makes you consider a lot of stuff. I wish the ending was a more broad description of what the outcome of unschooling was. Overall a great book.
