From Grace Llewellyn, author of the Teenage Liberation Handbook comes this updated edition of "Real Lives." In the original, Grace interviewed eleven teenagers about why the dropped out of highschool, and what kind of education they're pursuing now. This new version also has updates with all of the teens to see what they're up to as adults, and asks them to reflect on how de-schooling changed and influenced them. One girl writes to 50 penpals and is so inspired by everyone's different lifestyles, becomes a social worker. This is just one example among the many kids that travel, fix bikes, and build houses, all instead of going to school.
