Passion-Driven Education: How to Use Your Child's Interests to Ignite a Lifelong Love of Learning
Here's the hard truth: the modern education system is a disaster.
Why do parents subject their children to a process that disregards their interests, ignores their basic humanity, and subjects them to arbitrary mandates and micro-management? Your children deserve better than to be bored learning about subjects they aren’t interested in and frustrated with endless busywork.
There is a better way—one that ensures your child sees learning as a joy and provides you, the parent, with a much less stressful way to educate and empower your son or daughter. In this book, Connor Boyack shares the exciting philosophy and empowering day-to-day steps involved in passion-driven education.
A child’s curiosity and natural desire to learn are like a tiny flame, easily extinguished unless it’s protected and given fuel. This book will help you as a parent both protect that flame of curiosity and supply it with the fuel necessary to make it burn bright throughout your child’s life. Let’s ignite our children’s natural love of learning!

As a parent of two homeschooled kids, Passion-Driven Education by Connor Boyack was very inspiring and motivating. It reminded me of all the reasons why we decided to homeschool our kids in the first place, it made me reassess how well we're doing, and motivated me to refocus our approach to our kid's education.
The John Taylor Gatto introduction is a compelling appetizer to the main course of this book, which is a great primer on alternative-- and frankly, superior-- methods for approaching education.
The book lays out the problems-- indeed, the inherent flaws-- of the current schooling model before introducing an alternative approach... A focus on the things that inspire and motivate each child individually. Boyack provides several examples of tried models that take this approach, as well as suggestions and examples of how parents might do the same. He also addresses potential concerns and doubts parents might have in implementing a passion-driven education in the lives of their own children. I appreciated the references to sources in the footnotes.
Boyack does a good job of covering the "what", the "why", and the "how" of the topic... As a parent who's already homeschooling children, the "what" and the "why" were concepts I've already dealt with, but it was a good reinforcement. I found myself wishing that the "how" of helping children focus on their passions was more in-depth... But this book was a great starting point to introduce the concepts and point parents in the right direction. I plan to read it again as we lay out a new focus in our approach to the education of our own children.
I recommend Passion-Driven Education for any parents who desire to instill the qualities of creativity, initiative, and adaptivity in their children for a rapidly changing world.

There are a good many valid and extremely useful ideas in this book, however it seems to constantly be against parental authority. Teaching our children how to think and not always what to think, can be beneficial but also dangerous. As parents, it is our duty to protect our children and educate them about right and wrong. A child left to his own devices will cause trouble because there are no boundaries.
I like how it reinforces parents to teach children how to learn and not just memorizing facts. However, I believe children need a firm foundation to begin with and then you can start building from there. They encourage a less structured learning style, which is all well and good, but they seem to emphasize a lack of boundaries and seem to depict parents just following the child's lead.
A good parent will recognize when something sparks their child's interest and will be able to gear a majority of their studies around such interest. However, not everything in life can be about Legos or spiders, or clouds. We as parents are also responsible for raising well adjusted and disciplined individuals who can accomplish things whether or not they are all related to their passion. Sometimes you have to do things you just don't like. That's life.
It seems the book is more geared for people who let their children do whatever they want, instead of enforcing rules, boundaries and limitations that are in place for a purpose. I'm not saying you have to be a tyrant, but at the complete opposite end of the spectrum the grass isn't any greener.
A discerning parent will be able to glean a few new ideas to add to their repertoire, but I wouldn't count on this being a monumental, life-changing book.

I found this to be extremely helpful. I did think there was a large part of the book that argued against the modern public school system. I already am on that side of the argument so I didn't need the consistent chapters on why the present system doesn't work.
However, this helped me a lot in being strategic with how I homeschool my children. I'm glad I read it.

This was mostly a diatribe against modern education. Not an unfounded one, but the meat of the proposal didn't come until the last third of the book. And then, very little of that was practical advice.
Overall, the idea is great. But the end result is biased, majorly flawed, and lacking practical examples of an alternative to modern government education, especially for working parents who are unable to homeschool.

While I agree with the basic tenants of this book (people learn much more when they are passionate about it), I just didn't see any value in this book. He says in the intro that it will be extreme. And it is. I didn't see the need for dozens of pages about negatives in education. I wanted solutions. When I finally got to them, they were so obvious, that it was pointless. It was nothing I hadn't read before, and other books do a better job saying the same thing and then some. It's a very short read, so I'm not too upset about it, but I won't be recommending it to anyone.

This was a quick read with some great thoughts. The author's approach to education is unschooling or the equivalent (he mentions a few other options) that give the child the driver's seat (his words) and the topics of study are driven by the child. It definitely made me think outside of my status quo as I homeschool our kids and I plan on contemplating his ideas more as I think about ways to improve what we're doing but I also don't think this is the right route for our family to go.

I have an unofficial habit of reading 1 or 2 books on unschooling per year. The idea of student-led education intrigues me because in my own experience, we absorb information in greater volumes when we are truly interested in it. I pick up these books because I had a lot of negative experiences in the public school system and I'm not interested in doing things because tradition requires it or "everyone else is doing it." Thirdly, our family is exceptionally creative by nature and consequently any past attempts out of my own ignorance to educate my kids with the most traditional methods have led to unrest. Finally, my household is faith-based and character training is the number one subject that my husband and I aim to teach our kids. For these reasons, I often explore the unschooling world- to embrace the unique design of each of my kids, to better relate to them, to expand my knowledge of pedagogy, to collect more creative ideas for home education, and to create a vision for the future.
Passion-Driven Education by Connor Boyack provides parents with a solid argument against government schooling by investigating its historical roots and exploring how education used to look prior to the "factory" approach that most of us today have experienced via public schooling. The first half of the book provides the history lesson and explains ideology, while the second half provides more application.
Here are some of his points which I agree with:
*Kids don't learn when they are bored.
*Character is exceedingly more important than test scores.
*Public schooling is not tailored to the individual. (How could it be?)
*Age-mixing (kids of different ages learning alongside one another) is far better than an age-segregated (kids excusively of the same age learning together) environment in terms of growth as well as providing a more authentic real-world experience. (I have friends who are decades older than me and I am friends with children and I learn so much from all of them!)
*Many homeschoolers are merely recreating public school at home.
Although I incorporate some student-led practices in my family's home education, ultimately I don't personally conform to one method- including unschooling. Here are the ways in which I personally deviate from Boyack's opinions:
*Unschooling can be even more exhausting than traditional methods because there is very little room for planning ahead. You are at the mercy of your kid's obsessions, which can shift quickly and unexpectedly. Pulling together resources at a moment's notice is time- and energy-consuming, and it would be discouraging to put in so much prep only to have your child change their mind suddenly.
*According to Ben Hewitt, the author of Home Grown (a book I truly enjoyed), although unschooling is romantic, it will breed a sense of entitlement in kids because they are allowed to do whatever they want (in terms of learning). From my perspective, this conflicts with character training.
*I live in NYS and traditional testing is mandatory for certain grade levels. Consequently, traditional math and ELA methods are the best fit for us. Although personally I don't feel like my kids need to know how to identify adverbs or nonagons, we don't have the option to forgo learning these. (We do, however, approach the rest of our subjects with an unschooling frame of mind, favoring student-led activities and picture book strewing.)
Connor Boyack is famously a libertarian- he wrote the Tuttle Twins series. The forward is by John Taylor Gatto, another libertarian. Boyack's comments weren't by any means a stretch, but Gatto seemed a little extreme. (His focus was on Prussia's creation of the modern school system in an effort to brainwash the masses.) Overall, I appreciated their unique POVs and read some very good points but ultimately as a home educator I will have to decide what to take to heart and what lifestyle changes I want to make. After all, learning is a lifelong process, and these are just two men.

A quick overall refresher of concepts that I have learned through other books based on similar educational philosophies. I’m an eclectic schooler, so I appreciated reading some reminders of why I choose to educate the way I do.

I really enjoyed this book. It echoed many of my own thoughts. I'm glad to have access to some hard copies to give out to people. We opted to place our twins in a Montesorri school starting in Kindergarten. I get a lot of questions about it. People tend to either get that it's an attempt to teach kids in a way that is actually beneficial or they look at me like I've grown a second head. (Especially when I announce that they don't give letter grades and have very minimal homework.). I've wanted to hand a book out multiple times for people to read. However, handing someone a copy of Montessoris the absorbent mind, and expecting someone to read it is probably a bit optimistic. I love the simplicity of this book. It's fairly thorough and thought provoking, yet it doesn't bog the reader down in the intricacies of a theory and it's development. There's also plenty of sourcing for those who wish to dig deeper.

Loved the author’s suggestions about how to follow your children’s passions to spark their educational interest (the author planned an entire curriculum around the game Angry Birds, his son’s passion as a child). However most of the book was a negative tirade against traditional education systems, eg public (and most private) schools. I would have appreciated more insight on how to really put his ideas into action, especially for busy parents who don’t have the time I would assume it would take for most parents to plan a completely customized homeschool educational plan for their child - or multiple children. It left many practical questions left unanswered mainly on how to implement such an idealistic plan. However it sparked some ideas for integrating my son’s current interests into our homeschool experience, which I appreciated.

Great book. However the subtitle is a little misleading. The entire book is not about "How to use your child's interests to ignite a lifelong love of learning" but rather consists of 3 chapters on WHY, a chapter on WHAT to do about it and a final chapter on HOW. Still a great book and one that every parent ought to read, especially those with kids in school. Are the underlying lessons your kids are learning from the system (even though they have a wonderfully kind teacher and they love school) really what you want them to learn?

Important and eye-opening.
I really enjoyed this one and I'll make some changes based on its ideas. I do recommend it.

We've been homeschooling for a year now (COVID plus dissatisfaction with our local district) and I really like the idea of letting my children's interests lead some of the things we study. Given the right environment, I wholeheartedly agree with most of the positives in this book, that kids will naturally gravitate and thrive in subjects and studies that they're interested in.
But you know when it's election time and you see all those political ads talking about how the other guy is so terrible and will do nothing but ruin things if elected? I would much rather hear about the actual candidate, their platform, and what their plans are to improve things for the community and people in whatever area they're in. I felt that while reading this book. A good majority was talking about the DANGERS of public schooling and it was very off-putting.
"Schools have become like bacteria-ridden petri dish, waiting to corrupt any pure specimen placed inside."
Many families don't have the luxury of being able to have one parent stay at home to facilitate a child's education. Housing prices and the cost of living keep going up while wages aren't increasing at the same rate. So this book felt very preachy, essentially saying, "you need to figure out how to do this or your kids are going to be ruined." But lots of people just can't swing it financially.
Overall, I guess I might recommend this book for someone considering homeschooling so they can think about other approaches. But as a "survivor" of the public school system, it was eye roll inducing and extreme.

I relate to Connor Boyack so much in the sense that I lost my love for learning in my youth. For me, learning was seen as a chore and a burden. I do not want that for my kids. I have been so inspired by my husband who loves learning and learns new things every day. I want my children to be like him. Reading this book was so validating as well as encouraging. I want to raise critical thinkers who are passionate about learning. This book did a great job at exposing what to avoid in my children's education and what to instead focus on. I'm still a little concerned about the lack of structure Boyack's philosophy offers; it appears to follow the same philosophy of, "trust the process." My kids are still young, so I am encouraged to provide many opportunities to learn organically and eventually unearth what my children are each passionate about and then run with that. The philosophy contained in this book is intentionally vague because it's based upon individual needs and passions. I would have liked a more robust direction and to be left with greater confidence, but I still have doubts, albeit doubts about my own ability to facilitate passion-driven education. Overall, I deeply appreciated how enlightening this book is. I am left feeling more determined to homeschool and to avoid recreating public school at home so that my children have more freedom to learn, explore, and dictate their own educational paths. I am the facilitator. I don't need to be an expert, just supportive and willing to provide necessary resources and mentors that can aid beyond my own abilities.

Great book with golden information and a fast read. I’m just really grateful I got the chance to read this book before I become a parent. Can’t wait to implement what I learned!
Also, this isn’t a book about how to be a parent. It’s a book on how to be a teacher-facilitator. The author isn’t saying to let them do whatever the heck they want. He’s saying to let their passions drive what they learn (*cough cough* the title *cough*) As a parent, you still set boundaries and rules pertaining to how things are run in the house and with each other. He even says “Allowing more freedoms for children does not mean that they are adults; parents should still parent.” He also mentioned an example like, if they have a passion for music, that doesn’t mean you should allow them to go to raves and such. It’s about balance and that’s your job on how to find that balance. You know your child best.
While it would be helpful to have more chapters on solutions to the problems of modern education, it’s enough to get started. It should be enough information for parents to decide how they want to dictate their children’s educational experience. The author is just giving you ideas and the _freedom_ to teach your children the way you think is best.

The majority of the book deserves 5 stars. I was hesitant to like it, because it seemed like the author didn't really have the life experience to be telling me what to do with my children. But it's more a reiteration of the things John Holt and John Gatto have said before, so not much new information. Well written information though.
My biggest complaint is that he spends 4/5ths of the book telling you to stop trying to teach your kids and instead let them learn, but then his examples are all......exactly the same thing as they do in school. Only for stupid subjects.
I thought the point of it was that if your kid is really, really, really into airplanes, then you should let them run wild with it. We tend to truly learn the things we're passionate about learning. But by his suggestions if my kid seemed to be getting more and more interested in airplanes I'd try to force that into learning about math, or learning about World War II, or drawing airplanes. So it would still be teacher directed education that is trying to trick the kid by making the subject something they like. So I'd give that section 1/5. But don't let that dissuade you from reading it!

This book is a Winner!
I gave this book 5 stars because the author, Connor Boyak, nailed this topic! This is a must read for anyone considering how and why to get their child(ren) off of the conveyor belt of the tired & mundane public school system! Currently my family still follows a cahrter/piblic/homeschool model, however there are still tons and tons of textbooks and worksheets. My 8 year old son is sooooo painfully bored with them and I feel bad to continue to force that stuff on him. I am trying desperately to find creative ways to make learning fun for him. Lastly my 15 year old son is also homeschooled (is severely behind on his credits and at a credit recovery school..yikes!) buutttt.....he has a passion of graphic design. He is self taught/auto-didact (since like age 12/13ish?) and we just try to step out of his way and allow him to get as creative as possible. He started a business with it....has paying clients and markets his services & all that good stuff!
Soooo all in all this book is truly a winner you won't be disappointed! Thanks Connor!

Pro-Education, Anti-Public Schools
This book is as much against the public school system as it is supportive of taking your child’s education into your own hands. Be ready for a lot of arguments against public schooling, but also for the instruction on how to choose a different path of education for your child(ren). The advice contained in this text is extremely useful for anyone finding themselves wanting to educate a child freely, without a rigid curriculum. It is also helpful to anyone who has a child who struggles to focus on much outside their own personal interests - the reader learns that a child’s interests, even if that interest is a video game, can be used as a teaching tool. I have to say, though, if you have children enrolled in a conventional school, you may take away some guilt or anger from the intense criticisms the author has for this kind of education!

This book could be somewhat controversial in different parenting groups. I am careful with whom I recommend this book unless I know they are interested in exploring alternative paths for their children’s education. With that said…
This book has become a staple for me - the “why” to our homeschool. The “why” for my children’s love of learning and desire to explore what they’re passionate about. If you’re curious, read the book.
The author is not shy about his feelings toward public school and our modern day education system. Be aware of that. There is also some kind of heavy stuff about the history of industrialized education and how it as influenced our education system today. Toward the middle of the book, the author begins to illustrate what a passion-driven education looks like and how to implement it. Really helpful and great ideas to apply.

I love the principles of love, freedom, learning, empowerment, trust and faith expressed in Passion-Driven Education. Boyack also provides case-studies which prove the efficacy of those principles. It's inspired me to more seriously pursue my own passion-driven education and provide the right environment and guidance for my children to learn and grow. My wife is excited to read it now that I'm done.
Reading this little gem reminded me of the sentiments expressed by Albert Einstein:
"Curiosity is a delicate little plant that, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom."
"I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn."
"Play is the highest form of research."
"It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education."

I love the idea and message of this book! Boyack spends a big portion of the book defining the problem with mainstream education today. One is eager to read his passion-driven solution and it's brilliant! But I can't help feeling that he could've outlined it in an article. Some profound sentences that I have highlighted and will tweet and share.
Some children have clearer and more overt passions than others. I have seen children become experts on subjects and I greatly admire them for it. But I'm not sure my children have such clear-cut interests which leaves me to gently steer our learning and make it fun and interesting.
All-in-all, a very inspiring read which has fueled my enthusiasm for what we are: homeschoolers and life-long learners.

I don't agree that public schools are as disastrous and as completely corrupt as Boyack, but he did share some good information and make some good points regarding the educational process. I feel like his unschooling approach holds some appeal, but doesn't seem realistic unless you have a good bit of time and only one, maybe two children. I do really appreciate the book for its encouragement to critically analyze the educational process, to recognize that mainstream education is often far removed from best practices and to be courageous in going against the norm in favor of what is best for your child.

What I liked best about this book was the second half, where Boyack gives practical suggestions. (The first half of the book is a summary of John Taylor Gatto's writings about the problems inherent in public schooling. While I love Gatto's writings, he's heavy on analyzing the problem and light on suggesting solutions.) In the last few chapters, Boyack talks about unschooling, Thomas Jefferson Education, Montessori, and hackschooling as alternatives to traditional public schooling. He also gives several examples for incorporating art, writing, math, history, science, and so on into your child's interests.

Quic and easy read that shows the pitfalls of public education. Anyone who has been a part of the educational system will understand that how it was set up and the ways they keep trying to "fix it" are not really ever going to get it to how most parents want their children taught. Having said that I have been most fortunate in my education and my childrens with fabulous teachers that have done everything they can to produce best environments and learning activities while still being at the mercy of the large cogs. I have always been active in all my kids classrooms as well. It has given me plenty to think over as I approach the concept of homeschooling my kids.

Passion-Driven Education is one of those books that will light a fire in homeschool parents. It boldly challenges you to rethink what you believe about education. Boyack does not mince his words. He believes our current education system is failing our society and his observations are hard to argue with.
This isn’t just for homeschool parents. Teachers and parents of children in schools public and private would benefit from Boyack’s ideas. The book presents many issues, but it also offers solutions.
This book is one that I will recommend for years to come. A must read.

Pretty informative book. 5 stars
We had just started out homeschooling journey, my decision was confirmed when I met a family homeschooling their daughter. I was not clear on how to do it, and funny thing what I was doing was reason driven education. Definitely this book have me more ideas and reasons to continue this style.
The first chapters made me realize in a deeper way the non sense of modern education, specifically with understanding the origins.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to leave the system and wants to know more available open and ideas.

The only thing I disagree with is the mention and praise for John D. Rockefeller, who was a proponent for the modern education system. It is odd that the author spoke highly of him when he was for the very thing the author speaks against.
Also, Rockefeller advocated for pharmaceuticals during his time and was against all cost effective Homeopathic and natural treatments in medicine. He used his "philanthropy" to influence his ways in pharmaceutical and other ideas. Other famous "philanthropists" do this same thing today.

Great overview of self-directed education
Started homeschooling this year (as many have) and been devouring many unschooling books. This book has a lot of information and practical advice on approaching this style of education.
This book would be great for homeschoolers, people looking for alternative education, or students who would like to convince their parents to take a new course of action.

Great summation of what is wrong with the education system
Great info here on how the current education system is failing our kids. His recommendation is very useful if new to unschooling - if not, his philosophy is nothing we haven't heard before and doesn't offer much practical advice. I still very much enjoyed reading this and have made copious notes to think about as we continue our homeschooling journey.
