Taking the leap from status quo conventional schooling to Self-Directed Education can be difficult. Despite the well-documented dangers and failures of conventional schooling, and in spite of superior academic and life outcomes that are available via Emancipated Learning, those who venture away from conventional public, private, progressive, and alternative schools are often questioned and judged by family members, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. One day, our society will evolve enough that the average person will accept that Self-Directed Education free of coercion is the most humane and efficient way to learn, and provides the best long-term outcomes for individuals and society. Until that day, you can deepen your understanding of more liberatory, loving, and youth-centered ways to educate and support young people, and prepare yourself to defend your decision to free your children from the practices and structures of schooling by reading, listening to, and watching some of the following resources. Books with an asterisk (*) are books we give to families and highly encourage them to read and reflect on. Books with a carrot (^) are books all Facilitators read. Resources with a plus sign (+) are those that speak about the community or people of Abrome.
