Writing a Report about doing School at home is easier in many ways than writing one about unschooling, since you will have many of the conventional products of schooling to share with School officials, such as tests, worksheets, and commonly used textbooks.
Farenga has also written chapters about homeschooling in Encyclopedia Britannica (2014, 2010), A Parent\'s Guide to Homeschooling (Mars Publishing, 2002), Creating Learning Communities (FER, 2000), The Handbook of Alternative Education (Macmillan, 1994), The Exhausted School (Oxford Village, 1992), Schooling At Home (John Muir, 1990), and The Encyclopedia of School Administration (Sage, 1988)..
Farenga\'s books include The Beginner\'s Guide to Homeschooling (Holt, 1998), Teach Your Own: The John Holt Book of Homeschooling (Perseus, 2003), The Legacy of John Holt: A Man Who Genuinely Understood, Trusted, and Respected Children (HoltGWS, 2013), and the forthcoming How to Report Unschooling to School Officials (HoltGWS, 2015).
He is also a founding member of www.alternativestoschool.com.
Farenga writes about homeschooling and self-directed learning for a number of publications and operates the John Holt/Growing Without Schooling website, www.johnholtgws.com.
Farenga speaks as a homeschooling expert at education conferences around the world-such as in Colombia, Ireland, France, England, Canada, and Italy-as well as on commercial radio and television talk shows in the United States (The Today Show, Good Morning America) and abroad.
GWS was the nation\'s first periodical about learning without going to school, started by Holt in 1977.
Farenga worked closely with one of the founders of the modern homeschooling movement, the late author and teacher John Holt, and published Growing Without Schooling magazine (GWS) from 1985 until it stopped in 2001.
Farenga is a writer and education activist who addresses academic and general audiences about working with children, not on children, to help them learn.
About author(s): Patrick Farenga brings more than 34 years of fieldwork, advocacy, and personal experience (he and his wife unschooled their three daughters) to help parents and children learn in their own ways.
This book shows you how to do this successfully.
Unschooling often doesn\'t produce such products, so if your state requires you to submit a periodic evaluation you might need to explain your children\'s growth and development in more depth to readers who do not understand unschooling.
