Fifty years ago John Holt woke the dreary world of educational
theory by showing that for small children "learning is as natural
as breathing." His brilliant observations are as true today as they
were then. Over 1 million copies were sold worldwide in the decades
that followed. Today the theorists are still squabbling, and Holt's
wisdom is needed more than ever. As a hero of progressive education
and homeschoolers, his time has come again. A new foreword by
eminent school reformer Deborah Meier, of the New York University
Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development
reveals the lasting influence of John Holt's ideas and their
relevance for the students today.
