NEW! "What has Susannah Sheffer, the editor of Growing Without Schooling for 14 years, been doing since GWS closed?" I get asked this a lot, and here's the short answer: she's working against the death penalty and for healing of both victims and offenders. Some readers may remember that in her columns in the last several issues of GWS, she mentioned working on a book with a former prisoner. That book, IN A DARK TIME: A Prisoner's Struggle For Healing and Change, is now available. NOTE WELL: THIS IS NOT A HOMESCHOOLING BOOK. It has a lot of adult situations, themes and language.
