No one is immune to the byproducts of compulsory schooling and standardized testing. And while reform may be a worthy cause for some, it is not enough for countless others still trying to navigate the tyranny of what schooling has always been. Raising Free People argues that we need to build and work within systems truly designed for any human to learn, grow, socialize, and thrive, regardless of age, ability, background, or access to money.Families and conscious organizations across the world are healing generations of school wounds by pivoting into self-directed, intentional community-building, and Raising Free People shows you exactly how unschooling can help facilitate this process.Individual experiences influence our approach to parenting and education, so we need more than the rules, tools, and “bad adult” guilt trips found in so many parenting and education books. We need to reach behind our behaviors to seek and find our triggers; to examine and interrupt the ways that social issues such as colonization still wreak havoc on our ability to trust ourselves, let alone children. Raising Free People explores examples of the transition from school or homeschooling to unschooling, how single parents and people facing financial challenges unschool successfully, and the ways unschooling allows us to address generational trauma and unlearn the habits we mindlessly pass on to children.In these detailed and unabashed stories and insights, Richards examines the ways that her relationships to blackness, decolonization, and healing work all combine to form relationships and enable community-healing strategies rooted in an unschooling practice. This is how millions of families center human connection, practice clear and honest communication, and raise children who do not grow up to feel that they narrowly survived their childhoods.

This book is an engaging, often eloquent, first-person account of an academically-oriented family's path to and through unschooling their young daughters, written by a prominent figure in the field. Two positive facets of the project stand out to me. One is that Richards acutely captures the persistent role that FEAR can play in keeping a family tethered to the apparatus of formal schooling. Her quasi-confessional tone allows us to feel her past fear and map it on to our own. But of course, borrowing her rhetorical mode: Don't we want our families, our friends, ourselves, to be making educational choices for our children founded in emotions more like hope, trust, and love? Second, it's hard to overstate how important Richards' book is for planting a Black flag in the landscape of self-directed education. If you've spent much time in this world, you'll know that people of color aren't adequately represented. Presumably because race is correlated with wealth, and unschooling can feel that much more frightening (point one) if you don't have a robust socioeconomic safety net. The conventional wisdom persists: For people who aren't rich and white, the safest route to social goodies runs through institutionalized scholastic achievement. In this context, Richards is a uniquely powerful example of courage and wisdom. Which is all the more remarkable given the impression left by her book that she and her partner basically reinvented the wheel here, rediscovering self-directed learning and parenting on the fly. Which brings me to a couple of more critical comments. The book contains scant references to the rich literature that's built up around this philosophy over decades. (There is no bibliography.) It's an "on brand" move, given Richards' emphasis on liberation and decolonization; but it does feel like the easier way to go. Second, and maybe more importantly, Richards generalizes quickly from a data set of 2 (kids) to principles that probably ought to be subjected to more systematic narrative or quantitative evaluation. Again, other people in the area have done some of the relevant work. But, at the end of the day, I don't think these criticisms should overshadow the very real, and very moving contribution Richards has made to the mission of self-direction with this latest publication. I'm eager to read whatever comes next.
