How To Drop Out Of High School: 3 Steps To Freedom.

1. Get Informed The web is flushed with sources- uncollege and yes, i can write- are worth clicking around.  "The Teenage Liberation Handbook" is widely considered the ultimate UNschooling guide.

If your looking for a more academic read check out "How Children Fail", "Deschooling Society" or "Dumbing Us Down".
