"Education without Schools" explores what happens when parents learn that there
are legal alternatives to conventional schooling. Based on an empirical case
study of families in England who discovered the possibility of elective home
education, this book offers a globally relevant analysis of the state's
relationship to education, parental choice, and related human rights issues.
Underscoring the fact that education occurs in many different contexts around
the world, Helen E. Lees argues that schooling's dominance has ultimately
limited our ability to imagine the full range of educational possibilities.
