Education without schools

By: Helen E. Lees

At a time when education and school choices are under increasing scrutiny, this topical book considers education more broadly than ever before. The author, an experienced teacher and researcher, highlights what happens when parents discover that an alternative to school education exists and is legal. This under-researched topic highlights the lack of governmental interest in alternative education and also considers the human rights issues, conflation with safeguarding, the relationship of the state to education and parental education choice. Focusing on the discovery of elective home education (EHE) in England as a case study for new and necessary arguments, the ideas discussed are also relevant internationally. The book considers the global fact of education as not just mainstream schooling, but how the dominance of schooling has affected our ability to conceive of education as diverse and different. This thought-provoking book will appeal to academic, teaching and policy-making audiences.

Silence in Schools

By: Helen Elizabeth Lees

Some schools have been using silence for years to benefit children and facilitate their learning. Yet this is the first book to examine the practice of silence in schools as an effective – and cost free – pedagogic tool.The author talks with headteachers and teachers about how they use silence in the classroom and they reflect on its benefits to the children and themselves. She presents case studies of schools which have introduced meditation, quiet spaces and silent moments, and analyses how these initiatives contribute to the students’ experience and learning and enhance the schools’ ethos.The book could not be more timely. It brings readers right up to date with the theoretical exploration of planned silence, which is in its infancy but growing fast. But this is also the time when the ideas around using silence with children are being enthusiastically promoted by popular figures such as Goldie Hawn and David Lynch, thus attracting much attention in the education arena.It is important reading for headteachers and teachers, policy makers, educational researchers and parents.

The Story Of My Life - The Classic Autobiography of Helen Keller

By: Helen Keller

The Story Of My Life - The Autobiography of Helen Keller - First published in 1903 - The book was the basis for the well-known movie "The Miracle Worker" by William Gibson. - It is with a kind of fear that I begin to write the history of my life. I have, as it were, a superstitious hesitation in lifting the veil that clings about my childhood like a golden mist. The task of writing an autobiography is a dicult one. When I try to classify my earliest impressions, I find that fact and fancy look alike across the years that link the past with the present. The woman paints the child's experiences in her own fantasy. A few impressions stand out vividly from the first years of my life; but "the shadows of the prison-house are on the rest." Besides, many of the joys and sorrows of childhood have lost their poignancy; and many incidents of vital importance in my early education have been forgotten in the excitement of great discoveries. In order, therefore, not to be tedious I shall try to present in a series of sketches only the episodes that seem to me to be the most interesting and important.
