Two reasons to hesitate to recommend Stop Stealing Dreams: Godin’s endless and relentless self-promotion makes me wonder what next shiny discipline he will glom onto in a month or so, and second, Godin’s analysis does not come from any deeply lived experience with schools. He knows somebody at a successful school and that means he knows schools. Godin is a skimmer, a marketer, and a fox. I prefer the hedgehog. Yet…
I am always looking for better ways. I just have to view Godin as an inferior reporter whose news had best be leavened with the knowledge that his catchy titles and thin texts are designed to do one thing very well–sell more thin texts and catchy titles.
A better choice would be this study of unschoolers.
Or best of all Clark Aldrich’s Unschooling Rules. That’s the real mccoy there.
On third thought, forget the faux educationist Godin. Start with these two instead.
