Variant title Learning without school
Series An Exceptional child
Exceptional child. UNAUTHORIZED
Abstract Hoppie is eleven years old and has spent a total of one week at school. His parents decided that putting a child through the formal school system was more likely to restrict than to expand and encourage his development and learning. He is instead learning through sharing his natural sense of discovery and curiosity with those around him. Though not yet a practical alternative to the necessary limitations of normal school classes, the path chosen by Hoppie's parents does offer some hopeful illustrations for improving individualized education.
