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 what we now call homeschooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolume 3 covers a period when homeschooling was getting more local, national, and international media attention and the growth of the movement comes alive in these pages. Holt's long essay in \u003cem\u003eGWS\u003c\/em\u003e 32, \"Our Legal Situation,\" addresses this growth and offers surprising advice to those who want to overturn compulsory school laws--don't do it. Parents correspond about letting their homeschooled children try school, other parents write in about a museum run by kids, self-taught musicians, and famous unschoolers, to name a few of the many evergreen topics printed in \u003cem\u003eGWS\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Holt (1923-1985) is the author of \u003cem\u003eHow Children Learn\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eHow Children Fail\u003c\/em\u003e (which have been in print for over 50 years, and 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, \u003cem\u003eGrowing Without Schooling\u003c\/em\u003e, reflects his education philosophy, which he called unschooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Holt C.
