Success Without School: Unschooling My Children from Birth to College by Jean Proffitt Nunnally

reflective medium-paced

1.5

This is not a book about unschooling or homeschooling, rather it's a poorly written memior about how two kids with a shell oil exec for a father and a crunchy stay at home mom graduated from college. There was a little info, insight, and perspective, near the front half of the book, hence the 1.5 stars. But mostly you'll find details you didn't need about the moms workout routine and how many credit hours the kids took in college. Rather than practical advice on how to work with others she states that their homeschool community "just came together naturally." And there is no reckoning whatsoever with that fact that for tons of kids who can't teach themselves to read, this approach can be a disaster.
