After years of working to change schools from within-testifying before Congress and addressing audiences around the world about how to make schools better places for children-John Holt founded Growing Without Schooling magazine in 1977 to support self-directed education and learning outside of school. Each issue is a lively exchange among readers and Holt, packed with useful advice, resource recommendations, and all sorts of legal, pedagogical, and parenting ideas from people who pioneered the homeschooling/unschooling movement. John Holt (1923-1985) is the author of How Children Learn and How Children Fail, which together have sold over a million and a half copies, and eight other books about children and learning. His work has been translated into more than 40 languages. Once a leading figure in school reform, John Holt became increasingly interested in how children learn outside of school. The magazine he founded, Growing Without Schooling (GWS), reflects his philosophy, which he called unschooling. GWS was published from 1977 to 2001 and is the first magazine devoted to homeschooling and self-directed education.
John Holt (1927-1985) was a fifth-grade teacher who gained fame in the 1960s as an insightful school critic, then again in the late 1970s as a founder of the homeschooling movement. Holt's first books, How Children Fail and How Children Learn, have been in print for over 50 years and combined have sold nearly 2 million copies.
Holt's later books explored alternatives to school that could be implemented or that existed for people to use now. In 1977 Holt founded the first magazine about learning outside school and homeschooling, Growing Without Schooling, published until 2001.
Holt presents learning as a constant human endeavor and throughout his work he shows how education can be envisioned as a way to support self-directed education-from changing classroom practices to support for learning among one's family and local community.
