Anna Dusseau is a former secondary school teacher, turned writer and homeschool mum. She tweets as @NotTheSchoolRun and blogs at www.homeschoolguru.org . Her gritty, wisdom-filled approach shows how home schooling can work brilliantly for families in post-Lockdown times. She draws on extensive teaching experience. She witnessed how mainstream schooling limited, and even damaged, her children’s well-being, curiosity and learning. The success of Anna’s popular Homeschool Guru Blog has led to giving public talks, writing articles in leading journals like the Times Educational Supplement and giving interviews such as on Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’ on home schooling during Lockdown.

Reviews for The Case for Home Schooling: free range education handbook

'Lively, so intelligent, but above all so RIGHT. Children were never intended to have their learning forced on them. They are learning animals, and they are deeply directed by their inner urges to master the world, in their own unique individual way. The best teachers know this, home educators hold it as their core belief. If you want your child to flourish and be suited to the future, and their childhood to be joyful and powerful preparation for anything life can bring, then this book is a treasure chest.'--Steve Biddulph, author, Raising Boys in the 21st Century and The Secret of Happy Children
