If you want to find some good resources, go do to the sources of
the most radical forms; they're inspirational.
See John Holt's Why Johnny Can't Read and Unschooling. As old as
they are, they got the ball rolling. They were old when *I* read
them in the early 80s as a young teenager but I found myself
grinning the whole way through because *finally* I felt that
someone in the 'adult world' really understand my pain.
Also, JS. Neill's Summerhill for a rosy and indealistic but
interesting account of a very real experimental school system
done along the lines of what you may be thinking of.
Neither one is about homeschooling but they're each related to
the homeschooling movement. I'm REALLY glad that, within my own
lifetime, Ive watched it blossom, along with the "infinite
library" of the Internet. I remember when I *had* to go to the
books and... microfiche. I dreamed of pocket information devices
that brought libraries in the palm of your hand. Now, we have
smartphones. yet, school still sucks for kids just like it
always did. So, at least some of my dreams came true.
