Free to Learn

This book argues that our traditional schooling system acts as imprisonment and squelches children's natural instincts to learn through play. Drawing on evidence from various disciplines, the author advocates for entrusting children to steer their own learning and development through free play. Children who are in charge of their own education learn better and at a lower cost than the traditional coercive schooling model. Free to Learn is a brave and counterintuitive proposal to improve children's lives and promote their happiness and learning.
