Beyond School: Living As If School Doesn't Exist by Wendy Priesnitz - A collection of seventeen essays in e-book format about how families and individuals can live and learn without coercion or struggle, and with trust, respect, dignity. This book holds high the beacon of respect for and trust in children – not only to learn what they need when they need it, but to fully participate in the lives of their communities and to take their places in a democratic society. At the same time, it reassures homeschooling parents (as well as those other adults in their lives who haven't yet realized there are possibilities for education beyond school) that their chosen path is the inevitable way forward.

Natural Life Magazine Life Learning Magazine Natural Child Magazine The Alternate Press Editor's Blog Company History Sustainability Statement Ethics Statement Privacy Policy Wendy Priesnitz Rolf Priesnitz Contact Life Media Home Register for Life Media email updates	Unbiased, trustworthy, reader-supported magazines and books about green family living and learning since 1976. Ethics Statement The goal of Life Media is to publish magazines, books, and other resources of the highest quality and integrity. We believe that our credibility is our most precious asset. Credibility is arduously acquired and easily squandered. We therefore expect the highest standards of professionalism from everyone involved with our business. Those standards are outlined here and will be clarified and augmented from time to time. We welcome feedback and suggestions from readers, freelancers, and contract workers. Life Media adheres to a strict division between editorial and advertising. We do not publish advertising disguised as editorial, which is often called advertorial and for which the main purpose is the promotion of a company or its products or services. Our advertisers are not wooed with the promise of an accompanying article that praises or explains their product. Writers do not produce articles with the intention of encouraging advertisers to advertise. We never solicit payment for reviews of products. We don't publicize products, brands or businesses in our editorial, except for books and CDs/DVDs, which are reviewed in our "Media Beat" column. Any media reviewed there is judged to be worthy by our editor and such reviews are written with no expectation of advertising or other sorts of revenue. In order to avoid the temptation or perception of influence or bias, we do not accept gifts from or give gifts to news sources, potential news sources, suppliers, or advertisers. "We believe that our policy preserves both our editorial integrity and the perception of it. And that integrity is the most valuable thing we have going for us. I have learned, through more than 35 years of magazine publishing, that thinking readers are skeptical of both editorial and advertising that seem to support each other. On the other hand, when readers trust that our articles are unbiased, they trust everything in a magazine, including the advertising. That integrity creates a win-win-win situation, which is good for the readers, good for our business, and good for our advertisers' businesses."
