No Homework and Recess All Day: How to Have Freedom and Democracy in Education

Jerry Mintz has spent most of his life promoting learner-centered education and the empowerment of children. In No Homework & Recess All Day, Mintz draws on this experience to provide an overview, brief history, and many practical lessons to learn from the growing movement of democratic and alternative schools around the world. If you've ever thought of homeschooling, sending a child to a democratic school, attending a democratic school, or maybe even starting a democratic school, this is the book for you.
