"This important and thought-provoking book makes a sustained case for an alternative to the `educationalist paradigm’...Above all, this is a hopeful book and one I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who understands (or could be persuaded to understand) education as, `a plurality of possibilities’." Other Education "Thoughtful and interesting to read...Lees has gone further than most other writers on home ... Read moreeducation in her efforts to theorize the movement such that it becomes a coherent and viable option for 21st century families.” International Centre for Home Education Research "This study is a valuable and welcome contribution in an area of education which has so far received little attention from researchers in the UK." Family Education Trust Bulletin “Home schooling is under-researched and often misunderstood. Helen Lees' excellent Education without schools goes a long way to remedying this. It combines insightful empirical work with rigorous conceptual analysis. It makes a major contribution to defining the field.” Professor Michael J Reiss, Institute of Education, University of London.
