When teenagers stop going to school, it can be hard to know what happens next. Does that mean that all learning stops?
In this new self-help book for teens, Dr Naomi Fisher explains why school isn't the only way to learn, and how teens can start to take control of their education. The book is a practical guide but is also light-hearted, easy to read and fully illustrated by Eliza Fricker
She will be in conversation with Abel Fisher-Cavell (18) who will talk about how he learnt without going to school, and why he thinks that playing Minecraft for years set him up for academic success. This book launch is for parents and teens who are wondering if another way is possible.
Dr Naomi Fisher is a clinical psychologist and author of several books about education and psychology. www.naomifisher.co.uk
Abel Fisher-Cavell is a student at Exeter College where he is studying the International Baccalaureate. His education was a combination of home education, part time learning communities and democratic schooling.
