- Description or summary of the audiobook: A clear and magical account of how David and Ellen helped their daughters find new ways to take charge of their education...A treat you should not miss.?John Taylor Gatto, 1991 New York Teacher of the Year and author of Dumbing Us Down Progressive-minded parents considering homeschooling their children but turned off by fundamentalist or unschooling approaches will be inspired by this engaging account of home-directed community-based education.

Gracefully written, And the Skylark Sings with Me passionately illustrates that real learning is much richer and more mysterious than any school can encompass.

Affirmed, because you articulate so well what had been for me a nebulous sort of gut-feeling. Stretched, because you prompt me to expand that further.
