Long before the days of free schools, Rosalyn Spencer launched a non-fee paying 'alternative' small school. She had felt compelled to do this not only because of the difficulties her nine-year-old son was facing in mainstream education, but also because of concerns other parents had shared with her about problems their children were experiencing. Rosalyn opened the school with 12 children with virtually no funding at all.
This book is the first in a series of three, about the personal story leading up to the opening of the small school. It demonstrates some of the failings of the education system and highlights the need for alternative approaches. An Amazon number 1 bestseller.
