About the Author

Anna Dusseau home educates her three children. 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.

Industry Reviews

"This tour de force is laced throughout with pedagogical wisdom derived from a rich combination of common sense, emotional intelligence, acute perception and professional insight. It could only have been written by a thoughtful, playful, critically minded teacher who has struggled with the mainstream system, and then compared it with her own experience of home schooling. A landmark text in the evolving history of the home education movement, it is essential reading for all progressively minded educators." - Dr Richard House, editor of Too Much, Too Soon?
