Does institutionalizing our children for six hours a day, five days a week, really bring out the best in them? In this provocative new book, Matt Hern argues that there are effective alternatives to school as we know it. He believes that local communities are in the best position to decide what kind of schooling their children need, and that if school is fun and useful, people will actually want to go. In suggesting ways that we can leave the traditional school model behind, he sketches a future in which personal autonomy and social change go hand in hand. In the process he shows how children can thrive outside of school and make every day a field day.
